No one can live without a heart pumping blood to the rest of the body. New research from the University of Missouri School of Medicine reveals more information about this vital function and how it’s ...

Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a previously unrecognized small protein in cells of the human heart that plays a key role in heart muscle contraction. The protein is made ...

No one can live without a heart pumping blood to the rest of the body. New research from the University of Missouri School of Medicine reveals more information about this vital function and how it's ...

Researchers have made a significant finding in determining the genetic background of dilated cardiomyopathy in Dobermanns. This research helps us understand the genetic risk factors related to fatal ...

Researchers from the Heart Center of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) led by Priv.-Doz. Dr. Sören Brandenburg have identified a protein that plays a central role in the heart's adaptation ...

The heart is a muscle like no other, beating 60 to 100 times per minute on average, around the clock. But when it grows weak, it can lead to serious problems: from debilitating shortness of breath and ...

To build the model, scientists used cardiac muscle and connective tissue cells from rats. Scientists in Canada have developed a three-dimensional "heart-on-a-chip" that could mark a major step forward ...
