An Israeli study has identified TRIM63 as a significant genetic contributor to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—the most ...

The molecular mechanism behind why heart attacks can vary in severity depending on the time of day has been uncovered, potentially paving the way for innovative treatments that align with the natural ...

After earning a dual MD–PhD from the University of Maryland, Porter used his background in muscle cell biology to investigate heart development at Yale. It wasn’t until his move to Rochester, however, ...

Human stem cells were modified to become like "cardiac muscle cells" and "grown into the shape of the heart", he explained. It will not beat continuously for six months but will be replaced every ...

"It has an actual pulse ," Byron Russel of Pasona Group, which runs the exhibit, told AFP. Human stem cells were modified to become like "cardiac muscle cells" and "grown into the shape of the heart", ...

Human cell models may never be as good as the real thing, but we need these models to be as close as possible to understand how diseases develop and progress, and whether treatments are effective.

the CNIC team developed a gene therapy using adeno-associated viruses (AAV)—a safe delivery system for human patients—to deliver a functional copy of TMEM43 directly into the cardiac muscle ...

Under specific 3D culture conditions, the myoblasts self-assembled into SkMO and differentiated further into other mature muscle cell types. Price also identified cells that lacked the myoblast marker ...

Xu hypothesized that heart cells ... heart muscle cells into tissue-like structures. Insight gained from the team's space-based research could significantly advance methods to produce cardiac ...
