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

Researchers created lab-made heart cells for "Body on a Chip" project. — -- Science fiction became reality after researchers from Wake Forrest University say they managed to turn stem cells into ...

You probably know someone who is affected by cancer. This disease results when cells divide uncontrollably and can make a person sick, sometimes very seriously. I’m a biologist who specializes in the ...

Millions of people around the world die from heart failure every year. In future, a laboratory-grown heart patch could help with severe cases of cardiovascular disease, say scientists behind a ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a pioneering method to mend damaged hearts without open-heart surgery, an advance that could one day transform the treatment of heart failure. The new approach ...

A woman with heart failure was kept alive long enough to receive a heart transplant, in part thanks to newly developed stem-cell-derived heart tissue grafts. When you purchase through links on our ...

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 ...

When starved of oxygen during a heart attack or stroke, cells unleash a flurry of emergency measures to protect themselves and the body. For decades, scientists have observed that the body's ...

Diabetes doesn’t just coexist with heart disease - it actively reshapes the heart’s machinery and the way it makes energy.

In developing hearts, cells shuffle around, bumping into each other to find their place, and the stakes are high: pairing with the wrong cell could mean the difference between a beating heart and one ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.
