A new biological patch, designed from heart cells grown in the laboratory ... high blood pressure, or coronary artery disease, affects the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.

How cardiac cell fates are specified during heart development remains elusive. This study identifies a level-dependent role ...

Heart cells grown in space showed stronger survival, better function, and boosted healing traits. Spaceflight changed key ...

A research team has identified the impact of stem cell infusion timing on the incidence and severity of acute ...

This work is an important step in advancing stem cell technologies for bioengineering vascular grafts for cardiac vessel repair and their clinical translation." Igor Slukvin, senior co-author ...

These findings may also pave the way to regenerative therapy of other organs besides the heart,” commented principal investigator Hina Chaudhry. “They almost seem like a super-charged population of ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

“This is a different approach to repairing damaged cardiac tissue,” said Scot Matkovich, a molecular biologist at Washington University in St. Louis who was not involved in the research. In contrast ...

Australia's Murdoch Children's Research Institute is helping scientists use stem cell medicine and artificial intelligence to develop precision therapies for pediatric heart disease, the leading ...

pairing with the wrong cell could mean the difference between a beating heart and one that falters. A study demonstrates how heart cells go about this 'matchmaking' process. The researchers model ...
