It has been proposed that bone marrow–derived cells infiltrate the neointima, where they differentiate into smooth muscle (SM) cells; however, technical limitations have hindered clear identification ...

A team of scientists has answered a long-standing question in cell biology, uncovering how the cell's main energy currency, ATP, is transported into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Disrupted energy ...

A study led by a physician-scientist at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Tucson's Sarver Heart Center identified ...

Abstract: This paper shows a micro-robot driven by cardiac cells cultured on the thin collagen plate. In nature, locomotion of an animal is generated through interactions between the nervous system, ...

Axon guidance cues direct nerves in the heart during development, disease and regeneration. These cues determine cardiac innervation patterning by regulating the balance between chemo-attraction and ...

Gene editing validated conserved genes affecting heart rate and morphology, highlighting the power of isogenic strains in uncovering mechanisms of cardiac traits and disease.

Abstract: Cardiac fibroblasts are the most populous nonmyocyte cell type within the mature heart and are required ... and serves as an attachment site for cardiac muscle fibers.
