Scientists obtained stem cells expressing cardiac muscle-specific genes and proteins. The cells displayed regular rhythmic contractions similar to a heart, confirming that they were functional ...

An expert panel is set to discuss whether Japan's health ministry should approve two products using iPS cells. The treatments ...

This unexpected ability opens the door for scientists to stimulate cellular mitosis and improve heart function after an attack.

Sustainable engraftment of heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) can be achieved by implanting patches of engineered heart muscle onto the surface of the heart under immune suppression. Evidence from ...

In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that ...

Scientists have discovered a way to regenerate damaged heart muscle cells in mice, a development which may provide a new avenue for treating congenital heart defects in children and heart attack ...

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form ...

While current clinical trials for cardiac regeneration using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) employ immunosuppressive regimens used in heart transplants, the precise ...

Khaberni - American researchers have discovered a new cellular mechanism that explains how an infection with the 'Influenza A' virus can cause heart damage. The study, which was prepared by a team of ...

Researchers from the Heart Center of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) led by Priv.-Doz. Dr. Sören Brandenburg have identified a protein that plays a central role in the heart's adaptation ...
