In a Liv Hospital study, stem cell therapy improved heart function dramatically using MSCs and EVs, despite a blocked graft.

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

In recent years, fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine, has been a main contributor to the opioid crisis. One of the worst adverse effects of fentanyl abuse is ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...

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 ...

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 ...

“We saw the molecule stimulate reparative macrophages – a type of white blood cell – within the diabetic heart,” said the lead author of the study, MIPS PhD candidate Ting Fu Master. “These good ...

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 ...

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 ...
