The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells from the human body and deliver them to ...

A new antibody treatment prevents cholesterol buildup in heart mitochondria and restores energy production, offering hope for ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water sloshes around inside the cells that make up organs ...

The enzyme arginase-II has an important role in cardiac aging, and blocking it could help hearts stay young longer.

A new lab-grown material has revealed that some of the effects of aging in the heart may be slowed and even reversed. The ...

BACKGROUND: Cardiac hypertrophy, as an important pathological change, contributes to heart failure. Recent studies indicate that the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) play ...

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 ...

A muscle patch crafted from stem cells has improved cardiac function in monkeys with heart disease. It is now being tested in a small number of people, with early results from the first recipient ...

of cardiac muscle cells (cardiomyocytes), which can negatively affect heart function. So, it made sense for the researchers to investigate whether lipoxins, with their inflammation-resolving ...

They detail their findings in a paper recently published in iScience. To make stem cells function like mature heart cells, scientists run the cells through a bootcamp of “mechanical stresses.” ...

the organization and function of the cardiac structures and how they interact with one another remain poorly understood. In the present study, the researchers used a single-cell RNA sequencing ...
