Damaged hearts could be mended using small "patches" of heart muscle grown in the lab, say scientists writing in Nature. The ...

Innovative muscle patches derived from stem cells demonstrate efficacy in heart repair, improving function in primates and a ...

The shrew's resting heart rate can reach up to 17 beats per second, equivalent to about 1,020 beats per minute. In comparison, the average human resting heart rate is around 60 to 100 beats per ...

A team of researchers led by Emory's Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow and survive in the microgravity environment of space. The team's findings, published in Biomaterials, ...

STEM cell patches can fix heart failure by regenerating the muscle, tests show. The treatment was found to increase the ...

Sheets of lab-grown muscle are being tested as a radical new treatment for heart attacks and heart failure. Promising results ...

As the most important muscle in our body, any serious issues with our heart are considered critical and reason for ...

Results from rhesus macaques provide solid ground for a first-in-human investigation of heart repair with stem cell-derived ...
