In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

Researchers have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development. The ...

Your heart will not just give you fear and uncertainty after a heart attack; it can leave scar tissue that stiffens your heart and limits your strength. Many people learn to live with that loss, but ...

A team of researchers led by Emory’s Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow -and survive in the microgravity environment of space. Her findings, published in Biomaterials, show ...

A heart attack cuts off blood flow and oxygen to heart tissue. This can damage muscle and, in severe cases, cause the heart wall to rupture. Surgeons often repair these defects with patches made from ...

Using animals to study heart disease doesn’t always translate well to human health outcomes, and human heart cells available for research don’t work outside the human body. “You can’t keep them alive, ...
