Drosophila -- known as fruit flies -- are a valuable model for human heart pathophysiology, including cardiac aging and cardiomyopathy. However, a choke point in evaluating fruit fly hearts is the ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists -- so far. A new multi-chamber ...

“Our new human heart organoid model is poised to end this 30 year drought without any new drugs or therapies,” Aguirre said. The technology also supports the National Institutes of Health’s New ...

A chemotherapy drug used to fight bone-marrow cancer also has the potential to treat and prevent potentially deadly heart failure, a powerful new drug-screening tool developed at UVA Health suggests.

Scientists at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have developed a multi-chamber organoid that mirrors the heart’s intricate structure. The human ...

An organoid model of the human heart provides insights into the pathology of diabetes-induced heart defects in newborns. Researchers from Michigan State University (MI, USA) have used human heart ...
