More than 300,000 people suffer a heart attack in Germany every year. The heart muscle is then no longer supplied with sufficient blood and oxygen, and part of the tissue dies and scars. Unlike the ...

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 created a three-dimensional "heart-on-a-chip" (HOC) model that beats on its own, uses calcium to initiate ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

Canadian researchers have developed a beating three-dimensional heart-on-a-chip with real-time cellular sensing, offering a ...

Study: Engineered heart muscle allografts for heart repair in primates and humans. Image Credit: mi_viri/Shutterstock.com In a study published in Nature, researchers found that a stem cell-derived ...

A team of researchers at the CarDS — Cardiovascular Data Science — Lab at the School of Medicine published a study detailing their new AI tool that can screen for cardiomyopathies years before typical ...

A broken heart will mend over time. However, this isn’t the case for heart tissue following a heart attack. While skin and many other tissues of the body retain the ability to repair themselves after ...

Cardiac complications in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are the result of cardiac muscle involvement that accompanies the deterioration of skeletal muscle in the disease. The use of ...

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, led by Jianyi “Jay” Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., and Lei Ye, M.D., Ph.D., generated the human leukocyte antigen-knockout ...
