A recent study has revealed that just one month in space can weaken engineered human heart tissue, make its ‘beating’ patterns irregular, and trigger molecular and genetic changes similar to ...

A scientific technique that rapidly increases the body's production of anti-inflammatory cells promoted healing from heart attacks in mice, according to a new study. Once adapted to treat humans, the ...

This workout seemed to help the cells mature. Visually, they began to take on the structures of human heart tissue, and the cardiomyocytes beat harder. A genetic analysis showed that these cells ...

As the most important muscle in our body, any serious issues with our heart are considered critical and reason for replacement with a donor heart. Unfortunately donor hearts are rather rare ...

Using real human heart tissue samples, the research team confirmed the model’s predictions. The findings are particularly significant given the staggering number of heart cells affected by fibrosis.

The team also found one microgene—associated with human heart tissue—that cropped up after chimps and humans split off from gorillas about 7 to 9 million years ago. Intriguingly, Vakirlis and his ...

A Japanese research team found that the oxidized form of glutathione (GSSG) may protect heart tissue by modifying a key ...
