These "hotspots" resemble beating pacemaker heart cells that coordinate ... existence of tiny channels, called "gap junctions," that connect adjacent cells and allow them to communicate with ...

His goal now is to change electrical patterns in the brain by engineering new forms of gap junction ... of nerve cells, allowing them to communicate. (The same thing happens in the heart, where ...

Following the devastating fires that swept through Los Angeles in January, concerns are on the rise about the long-term health impacts of smoke inhalation.

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. Her findings, published in Biomaterials ...

The Dorsetshire Gap, the target of this walk, is a junction of ancient trackways at a natural break in the high ridge between Nordon Hill and Nettlecombe Tout. The same routes still converge at ...

Researchers in the US have developed a non-invasive method to monitor the electrical activity inside heart muscle cells from the outside. Electrical signals inside heart muscle cells provide insights ...

A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego and Stanford University has developed a noninvasive method to monitor the electrical activity inside heart muscle cells from the ...

These shape-morphing behaviours are essential for sculpting heart cell development and maturation. The University of Galway research team recognised this and developed a novel bioprinting ...

To develop the new method, the team first engineered an array of nanoscale, needle-shaped electrodes. These electrodes, each up to 200 times smaller than a single heart muscle cell, are made of ...

One driving instructor has revealed his ultimate hack to avoid being stuck at a T junction, and it’s easier than you might think. Uppingham-based 'R' Drive School of Motoring often shares clips ...
