Japanese researchers have transplanted human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a primate model of myocardial infarction and were able to restore heart muscle and function in monkeys. Developed ...

The tiny, floating blobs of mini-hearts were straight out of Frankenstein. Made from a mixture of human stem cells and a sprinkle of silicon nanowires, the cyborg heart organoids bizarrely pumped away ...

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

Tokyo, Dec. 13 (Jiji Press)--A clinical trial by a Tokyo-based venture company originating from Keio University has confirmed that transplanting cardiac muscle cell clusters called cardiomyocyte ...

Uncertainty surrounding how truncated titin proteins (TTNtvs) cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) led to investigations that could better inform therapies for these ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited form of heart disease, associated with over 1,000 mutations, many in β-cardiac myosin (MYH7). Molecular studies of myosin with different ...

Surviving a heart attack is a life-chaning experience. While it is turning point, it often marks the beginning of a new phase ...
