Imagine you could grow a new limb or a new organ. We would be able to live forever if that were the case. However, while we cannot grow new limbs, our bodies still react in pretty miraculous ways when ...

"The latest findings highlight the potential of tissue patches derived from stem cells to treat heart failure, which remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide". Muscle patches made with ...

A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being ...

A woman with heart failure was kept alive long enough to receive a heart transplant, in part thanks to newly developed ...

A team of researchers led by Emory’s Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow -and survive in the ...

Sheets of lab-grown muscle are being tested as a radical new treatment for heart attacks and heart failure. Promising results ...

Innovative muscle patches derived from stem cells demonstrate efficacy in heart repair, improving function in primates and a ...

In "remarkable" work, a patch of engineered heart muscle cells was used to strengthen a patient's heart before transplant.

EHM allografts restore heart muscle safely, offering a breakthrough in heart failure treatment with no arrhythmia risk.

This is especially problematic in cases of blocked blood vessels, which can repeatedly starve large areas of the heart of oxygen and nutrients, killing the cardiomyocytes there. This leads to a ...

Patches of beating, lab-grown muscle sewn into failing hearts can keep patients alive for years while they wait for a ...
