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. The team's findings, published in Biomaterials, ...

Heart muscle cells grown from stem cells show promise in monkeys with a heart problem that typically results from a heart defect sometimes present at birth in humans, according to new research from ...

Researchers mapped 442,239 single nuclei from nonfailing human hearts to chart how cardiac cells change from fetal ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...

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 ...

Microtubules, part of heart muscle cells’ internal “skeleton,” help determine how the heart changes shape under stress, and a common signaling pathway called the ERK pathway acts as a key controller ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Millions of people around the world die from heart failure every year. In future, a laboratory-grown heart patch could help with ...

When we developed the ability to convert various cells into a stem cell, it held the promise of an entirely new type of therapy. Rather than getting the body to try to fix itself with its cells or ...

Dace Gao and Deyu Tu are part of the research group that have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signalling of heart muscle cells. For the first time, scientists have succeeded in ...

In a new research report, a team of scientists led by Johns Hopkins Medicine say people with severe obesity and a common type of heart failure experience weakened heart muscles, and that losing weight ...

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 ...
