Heart development: Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research have discovered important mechanisms for regulating embryonic heart development. The proteins RBPMS and RBPMS2 ...

Researchers and neonatologists studying fetal cardiac development have typically run into critical limitations, as many of the known structures of the human heart can only be identified in the latter ...

Researchers have identified a suite of genes and regulatory elements critical to normal heart development. Their study outlines the importance of 'hub genes' in heart development. The advent of genome ...

In response to myocardial infarction, damaged adult cardiomyocytes are replaced by activated fibroblasts that form a fibrotic scar, leading to reduced cardiac function and heart failure. As the adult ...

The heart is the first organ to develop in the womb and the first cause of concern for many parents. For expecting mothers, the excitement of pregnancy is often offset by anxiety over medication they ...

Scientists at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have developed a multi-chamber organoid that mirrors the heart’s intricate structure. The human ...

The heartbeat is synonymous with life. It’s one of the of the first essential functions to begin during development and to end at death. “The heart is one of the first organs to form and function ...

An engineering team has developed a process that combines biomaterials-based cell patterning and stem cell technology to make a 3-D tissue model that could mimic early stage human heart development.

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...

LONDON, Heart Metabolics Limited announced today that it has closed the first tranche of its Series A financing with secured commitments of US$4 million. The proceeds of the Series A round will be ...
