A new type of tissue-engineered cardiac patch could not only seal defective areas of the heart, as has been the case up to now, but also heal them. An interdisciplinary team led by ETH Zurich has ...

Researchers from Mass General Brigham and collaborating institutions have developed a non-invasive approach to manipulate cardiac tissue activity by using light to stimulate an innovative ink ...

Researchers mapped 442,239 single nuclei from nonfailing human hearts to chart how cardiac cells change from fetal ...

Accurately measuring electrical signals and calcium levels in the heart can lead to earlier treatment of potentially fatal conditions, such as heart attack or congestive heart failure. Calcium plays ...

Internal organ tissues often don’t heal after illness or injury and lose some function, such as the heart after a heart attack. UCLA cardiologists have identified a protein that interferes with ...

A handful of scientists from ETH Zurich have developed a 3D printable patch known as the RCPatch (or Reinforced Cardiac Patch) that can help repair heart damage by integrating with the existing tissue ...

A drug previously developed at UCLA to help heart tissue repair itself after a heart attack might also help kidney tissue repair and regenerate, researchers have found.

Newborns with heart complications can rely on their newly developed immune systems to regenerate cardiac tissues, but this isn’t the case in adults. After a heart attack, most adults struggle to ...
