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

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

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 ...

Your heart will not just give you fear and uncertainty after a heart attack; it can leave scar tissue that stiffens your heart and limits your strength. Many people learn to live with that loss, but ...

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

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 ...

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

Now, in a study in zebrafish and human heart muscle cells, researchers show that a tiny deletion in the A-band of titin — the loss of just nine amino acids out of more than 27,000 to 35,000 amino ...

Researchers believe they now understand how severe cases of influenza damage the heart, providing an explanation for the ...

Scientists obtained stem cells expressing cardiac muscle-specific genes and proteins. The cells displayed regular rhythmic contractions similar to a heart, confirming that they were functional ...
