Endothelial cells (ECs) are a highly specialized cell type with marked diversity between different organs or vascular beds. Cardiac ECs are an important player in cardiac physiology and ...

We previously described a subset of c-mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (c-Met)–expressing (c-Met +) memory T lymphocytes that preferentially migrate to cardiac tissue in mice and humans.

A study published today in the journal Developmental Cell uncovers new insights into how the heart forms during the earliest stages of embryonic development.

Cardiovascular diseases cause one death every 33 seconds in America. Diagnosing these conditions, which account for ...

Engineers from Texas A University (TAMU) have developed a groundbreaking tiny chip that mimics real human blood vessels, ...

The findings could also accelerate progress in growing heart tissue in the lab for use in regenerative medicine. Dr Ivanovitch said: “In the future, we hope this work will help uncover new ...

Their work, published in Advanced Functional Materials, focused mainly on heart tissue. The researchers used something called “embedded bioprinting.” This means they printed the tissue into a ...

gingivalis can slip into the bloodstream and infiltrate the heart. There, it quietly drives scar tissue buildup -- distorting the heart's architecture, disrupting electrical signals, and raising ...

Bioengineering Department, University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus, at Bioscience 2 1270 E. Montview Avenue, Suite 100, Aurora, Colorado 80045, United States Cardiovascular Institute, ...

Without oxygen, that section of heart tissue begins to die. In classic heart attacks, this damage triggers immediate, intense chest pain and additional symptoms. In silent heart attacks ...

The researchers claim LICONN is the first technology beyond electron microscopy (EM) that is capable of reconstructing brain tissue with all the synaptic connections between neurons. It also opens ...
