In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or ...

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 ...

A clinical trial by a Tokyo-based venture company originating from Keio University has confirmed that transplanting cardiac muscle cell clusters called cardiomyocyte spheroids created from induced ...

Studies suggest that even brief bursts of running can significantly strengthen heart muscles and promote cardiovascular health. Short bursts of running, even lasting only a few seconds, can lead to ...

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 ...

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 ...

A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...

Researchers have transplanted precursor stem cells into the damaged heart muscle of pigs, repairing injured cells and improving heart function. The study may lead to a treatment that can regenerate ...
