Researchers have identified a suite of genes and regulatory elements critical to normal heart development. Their study outlines the importance of 'hub genes' in heart development. The advent of genome ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...

In humans, a specialized mRNA translation circuit predetermines the competence for heart formation at an early stage of embryonic development, a research team at the Center for Molecular Medicine ...

Having explored how the heart is formed in utero, a University of Houston pharmacology researcher is reporting how cells and molecules act during that early formation and what might cause the heart ...

A lab in Vienna has used stem cells to create thousands of tiny heart-like structures. Each miniature heart, dubbed a “cardioid,” is the size of a sesame-seed and has a hollow chamber that beats.

With age, the human heart gradually loses its ability to repair itself following injury. Damage wrought by injuries such as cardiac ischemia and heart attack, which are associated with decreased ...

A new groundbreaking study sheds light on a medical question scientists have long wondered: why do 40 per cent of children with the rare neurodevelopmental disorder KBG syndrome have heart defects?

A project at Stevens Institute of Technology has developed a software tool able to reveal previously unseen time-dependent details of tissues imaged with OCT. Reported in Biomedical Optics Express, ...

Long before human bone marrow takes over the task of producing blood, discrete waves of blood cell production occur in the developing embryo. Miriana Dardano, a postdoctoral researcher in Zweigerdt’s ...
