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 ...

Only cardiac muscle tissue, comprising cells called myocytes, is present in the heart. In this article, we discuss the structure and function of cardiac muscle tissue. We also cover medical ...

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.

This condition is known as cardiac sarcoidosis (CS ... had CS affecting just the heart or other parts of the body. When a cell dies, either by necrosis or apoptosis, pieces of its DNA are ...

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 ...

This strategy, while promising, has been hindered by marginal improvement of cardiac function (Perin ... proliferation of stem/progenitor cells in order to restore homeostasis, as seen in the bone, ...

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 ...

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 ...

2 describes a novel method of creating specialized chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells that are programmed in vivo to target and kill cardiac fibroblasts. FAPCAR lipid nanoparticles contain ...

Abnormal proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is a critical pathological feature ... heart to collect right ventricular pressure signal and other relative cardiac parameters.
