A Japanese research team found that the oxidized form of glutathione (GSSG) may protect heart tissue by modifying a key ...

The human heart is a vital organ that pumps ... in part thanks to newly developed stem-cell-derived heart tissue grafts. Cardiovascular disease develops and presents differently in women and ...

But now, a group of engineers at Harvard has created a cyborg fish made from human heart cells. The fish is modeled after a zebrafish and can move its side to side as it swims around. The idea is ...

the team coaxed the cells to better mirror the morphology and function of cells in a human heart. This heart chip could serve as a patient avatar to simulate how his or her heart might respond to ...

It also shows how the pacemaker cells restart her heart after the surgery. This short film is from the BBC series, Inside the Human Body. The 3D footage brings the topic to life and would enhance ...

This has been demonstrated in various animal models, but also in human heart muscle cells derived from stem cells and a computational model of the human heart. "These are great early steps but now ...

pairing with the wrong cell could mean the difference between a beating heart and one that falters. A study published in the Biophysical Journal demonstrates how heart cells go about this ...

The initial proof of concept studies in human heart cells and engineered heart tissue showed that the gene-vector-promoter construct corrects MyBP-C protein levels/expression in the sarcomere and ...

That's where Wang and colleagues come in—creating human valve cells and using them to make the pig heart valve compatible. The paper describes two major advances. How to reprogram human skin ...

pairing with the wrong cell could mean the difference between a beating heart and one that falters. A study demonstrates how heart cells go about this 'matchmaking' process. The researchers model ...
