Heart cells grown in space showed stronger survival, better function, and boosted healing traits. Spaceflight changed key ...

Researchers found that exposure to microgravity increased cancer cell proliferation and survival. Xu hypothesized that heart cells might exhibit similar behavior, which would address two current ...

In contrast to stem cell-based approaches, which aim to integrate new cells into the heart, microRNAs (miRNAs) could potentially be a way of “waking up existing cardiomyocytes immediately adjacent to ...

A scientific technique that rapidly increases the body's production of anti-inflammatory cells promoted healing from heart attacks in mice, according to a new study. Once adapted to treat humans, the ...

If fat cells become metabolically stressed and dysfunctional, they start churning out chunks of mitochondria that serve as warning signals to the heart of potential catastrophe, suggest the authors of ...

A scientific technique that rapidly increases the body's production of anti-inflammatory cells promotes healing from heart attacks in mice, according to a new study by investigators from the Smidt ...

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for one in five deaths. The inability of damaged heart muscle tissue to regenerate makes heart disease difficult to ...
