Zhou’s study, "TBX20 improves contractility and mitochondrial function during direct human cardiac reprogramming," was recently published in Circulation. The most common cause of death worldwide is ...

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 ...

After birth, the human heart loses its regenerative capacity almost completely. Damage to the heart muscle—for example, due to a heart attack—therefore usually leads to a permanent loss of function in ...

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

When someone suffers a heart attack and survives, the race is on to limit damage to their heart muscles. There will ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

Researchers have transplanted precursor stem cells into the damaged heart muscle of pigs, repairing injured cells and improving heart function. The study may lead to a treatment that can regenerate ...

Most people view their calf muscles solely through the lens of aesthetics or athletic power, but they are actually critical components of your circulatory system. Often referred to by medical ...
