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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...
