Researchers from Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) and the Leiden-based biotech company Ncardia have joined forces to ...

The framework of CASHeart. (A) Overview of the data collection and data processing workflow in the CASHeart Database. (B) Introduction to the main interfaces of the CASHeart website. The human heart ...

A team at Massachusetts General Hospital uncovered that an immune defense protein, Resistin-like molecule gamma, attacks heart cells after a heart attack—literally punching holes in them. This ...

Researchers have identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo. Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are ...

The adult mammalian heart bears limited regenerative capacity, resulting in the irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes post-cardiac injury, and often culminating in end-stage heart failure. Cardiomyocyte ...

Heart muscle cells grown from patient stem cells—known as human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes, or hiPSC-CMs—are a promising way to repair hearts damaged by heart attacks and ...

Samples of heart tissue from the study. The sample on the right, which was treated with the PLP therapy, shows decreased scarring (in blue) compared to the untreated sample on the left. Scientists at ...

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 ...
