A Tokyo-based startup said transplants of cardiac muscle cells that it engineered from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells ...

Japanese researchers have transplanted human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a primate model of myocardial infarction and were able to restore heart muscle and function in monkeys. Developed ...

Preclinical studies show that engineered heart muscle (EHM) can remuscularize damaged heart tissue, but most evidence comes from small-animal studies, which have limited ability to predict outcomes in ...

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 ...

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

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 ...

A US-based cardiovascular surgeon warns that a sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest threats to heart health. Even short ...

New research finds that type 2 diabetes actually reshapes the human heart, which is why it can cause heart failure. Here's ...
