Scientists have developed the first fully autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish swims by recreating the muscle contractions of a pumping ...

New study outlines scalable protocol to enhance development and understanding of human pluripotent stem cells in cardiac muscles. A Mount Sinai-led team has developed a reproducible and scalable ...

Since early in the pandemic, COVID-19 has been associated with heart problems, including reduced ability to pump blood and abnormal heart rhythms. But it's been an open question whether these problems ...

Mammalian hearts have almost no ability to grow new heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, after birth. Thus, dead tissue after an adult heart attack is not repaired with new cardiomyocytes. It is ...

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 ...

The Fowler laboratory studies cellular architecture: how cells spatially organize themselves and their interior compartments to achieve intricate geometries, mechanical strength, and physiological ...

The heart is a muscle like no other, beating 60 to 100 times per minute on average, around the clock. But when it grows weak, it can lead to serious problems: from debilitating shortness of breath and ...
