Grafting patches of lab-grown muscle to the surface of the heart could offer a lifeline for people waiting for a transplant.

Damaged hearts could be mended using small "patches" of heart muscle grown in the lab, say scientists writing in Nature. The ...

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 ...

Prolonged exposure to microgravity in space weakens the heart muscle and disrupts the heart’s rhythm, Johns Hopkins ...

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

Results from rhesus macaques provide solid ground for a first-in-human investigation of heart repair with stem cell-derived engineered heart muscle. The study is a milestone for the clinical ...
