Scientists have for the first time captured the moment a heart begins to form from embryonic stem cells. In astonishing ...

ATLANTA — What happens when you send heart cells to space? They come back transformed. Scientists discovered that after just eight days aboard the International Space Station, human heart cells ...

Human stem cells were turned into sympathetic neurons, which were then grown together with heart muscle cells. The neurons connected to the heart cells, which caused the neurons to mature further.

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 ...

A new gene therapy reversed heart failure in pigs by repairing heart function through cBIN1, showing major promise for future ...

In 2014, Sadek saw hints that heart muscle cells in patients with LVADs might be dividing. But there was no solid proof until now. “This is the strongest evidence we have, so far, that human ...

Organ transplant is a potentially lifesaving medical intervention, but there is a critical lack of donor organs. Even in a ...

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 ...

Human iPSCs can differentiate into cardiomyocytes, the beating muscle cells whose death can result in heart failure. Cardiomyocytes can improve heart function when transplanted into infarcted rat ...

A startup has applied for approval to manufacture and sell sheets of human heart muscles generated from iPS cells that can be transplanted into patients with severe heart failure. The application ...
