According to the researchers, the data obtained can become the basis for the development of safe protocols for cardiac cell ...

A groundbreaking study shatters the myth of permanent cardiac damage, revealing that the heart can naturally trigger cell ...

A woman with a failing heart has been kept alive with the help of a new "breakthrough" stem-cell technology, scientists report. The 46-year-old woman had experienced a heart attack in 2016 and ...

More than 300,000 people suffer a heart attack in Germany every year. The heart muscle is then no longer supplied with sufficient blood and oxygen, and part of the tissue dies and scars. Unlike the ...

Regenerative medicines are headed for people with Parkinson’s disease or severe heart failure — but researchers are concerned about minimal clinical-trial data.

Scientists have created a three-dimensional "heart-on-a-chip" (HOC) that could provide a breakthrough in the fight against the world's leading cause of death, cardiovascular disease. One major ...

When heart muscle gets damaged, the result is often permanent. Unlike other muscles in the body, the heart has long been believed to lack the ability to heal itself. But recent research suggests that ...

A team of researchers led by Emory’s Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow -and survive in the microgravity environment of space. Her findings, published in Biomaterials, show ...

New study reveals how influenza virus infiltrates heart tissue via specialised immune cells, triggering damaging interferon ...

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to ...
