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 ...

Preclinical studies show that engineered heart muscle (EHM) can remuscularize damaged heart tissue, but most evidence comes from small-animal studies, which have limited ability to predict outcomes in ...

Uncertainty surrounding how truncated titin proteins (TTNtvs) cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) led to investigations that could better inform therapies for these ...

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 ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

Surviving a heart attack is a life-chaning experience. While it is turning point, it often marks the beginning of a new phase ...

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 ...

Although cardiomyopathy might sound like a shorthand synonym for cardiovascular disease, there are important distinctions you should know about if you or a loved one is experiencing any issues with ...
