Michael Gotthardt at the Max Delbrück Center and collaborators are developing a drug to treat a common type of heart failure characterized by impaired cardiac filling. In a recent study, his group and ...

A new robotic heart can recreate different stages of heart failure, potentially giving researchers a new way to test ...

In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that ...

The model, validated against 3,000 heart MRI scans, is now being prepared for multi-centre validation studies across ...

Transferring mitochondria from a patient's healthy skeletal muscle to damaged, ischemic heart tissue has been shown to restore heart muscle, increase energy production, and improve ventricular ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

Study: Engineered heart muscle allografts for heart repair in primates and humans. Image Credit: mi_viri/Shutterstock.com In a study published in Nature, researchers found that a stem cell-derived ...

Your heart is one of the most important organs of the body. It pumps oxygenated blood to the body, helps in nutrient delivery in the body, sends oxygen-poor blood to the lungs, receives oxygen-rich ...

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, led by Jianyi “Jay” Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., and Lei Ye, M.D., Ph.D., generated the human leukocyte antigen-knockout ...
