Japanese researchers have transplanted human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a primate model of myocardial infarction and were able to restore heart muscle and function in monkeys. Developed ...

Study shows that cardiac spheroids, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, can be easily transported and injected into damaged areas of the heart to promote its regeneration and recovery ...

By studying and engineering heart tissue in the unique low-gravity environment of space, the laboratory of Arun Sharma, Ph.D.

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 ...

A Johns Hopkins-led study reports that severe obesity in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is linked to weakened contraction of heart muscle cells, but this defect may ...

Accurately measuring electrical signals and calcium levels in the heart can lead to earlier treatment of potentially fatal conditions, such as heart attack or congestive heart failure. Calcium plays ...

Scientists have shown that a single injection of self-amplifying RNA, delivered into skeletal muscle rather than the heart itself, can trigger weeks of sustained hormone production that protects ...
