The heart undergoes major changes during the first weeks of life. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have now shown that a ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has uncovered a previously unknown signaling system that helps regulate heart growth during ...

The hypoxia response has been found to be vital for the proper formation of the heart ventricles during gestation, adding an additional stage to embryonic development. A new study from the Centro ...

A newly discovered communication system in the microscopic “antennae” of cells may help explain how some congenital heart defects develop. When genetic mutations disrupt this system, the effects may ...

Writing in Science Advances researchers of the University of Cologne describe a key mechanism that controls the decision-making process that allows human embryonic stem cells to make the heart. These ...

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 ...

A team has induced stem cells to emulate the development of the human heart. The result is a sort of 'mini-heart' known as an organoid. It will permit the study of the earliest development phase of ...

The heartbeat is synonymous with life. It's one 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 during ...

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. This paper describes the expression profiles and roles of cardiac pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) ...

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, yet progress in understanding and treating cardiac disorders is limited by the shortcomings of existing experimental models. Traditional ...

Using a combination for spatial, single-cell transcriptomics and imaging data from 36 hearts, scientists from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and their collaborators have come up with what they ...
