Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ...

An international team, including the University of Tokyo, has created a sensor inspired by the lateral line in fish - their ...

Dr. Sharma described space as a yin-yang environment that both accelerates tissue aging and degradation and provides an ideal setting for growing more complex, three-dimensional heart tissues and ...

Researchers from Mass General Brigham and collaborating institutions have developed a non-invasive approach to manipulate cardiac tissue activity by using light to stimulate an innovative ink ...

A heart attack will leave a permanent scar on a human heart, yet other animals, including some fish and amphibians, can clear cardiac scar tissue and regrow damaged muscle as adults. Scientists have ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

For many patients who survive a heart attack, recovery is only the beginning. Structural and functional changes in the heart ...

Newborns with heart complications can rely on their newly developed immune systems to regenerate cardiac tissues, but adults aren't so lucky. After a heart attack, most adults struggle to regenerate ...

A common response between two types of immune cells during a COVID-19 infection and after initial vaccinations can cause heart inflammation. Now scientists have identified the cause of the heart ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart “tissue-on-a-chip” specimens into space as early as March. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes ...

Stents are commonly used during procedures like angioplasty, where a catheter is inserted into a blocked artery.
