A better alternative may be to use human heart muscle ... cell-derived cardiomyocytes. The next goals will be to determine if these large animal experiments show similar improvements in cardiac ...

The individual cells are interconnected via cell-cell contacts so that the electrical conduction necessary for cardiac contraction can take place in a controlled manner. New cardiac muscle cells ...

We therefore hoped to trigger changes in gene activities by reprogramming energy metabolism to turn cell division ability back on in cardiac muscle cells." In further studies, the scientists were able ...

Researchers have made a major advance in efforts to regenerate damaged hearts. Grafts of human cardiac muscle cells, grown from embryonic stem cells, coupled electrically and contracted ...

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 ...

Through this experiment, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai researchers aim to gain a better understanding of how cardiac muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, adapt to extreme biological stresses ...

Muscle patches generated from stem cells helped ease heart problems in monkeys and a human patient, in a potential advance towards improving treatments for the scourge of cardiac failure.

A patient who received the world’s first transplant of cardiac muscle cells using artificially derived stem cells known as iPS cells this month is in stable condition, an Osaka University team ...
