Researchers from the Centenary Institute and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have developed a human heart cell model demonstrating that the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) can ...

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 ...

Injecting infarcted pig hearts with specially bioengineered cells significantly decreased the infarct area and improved heart function, showing possible clinical relevance “It is widely acknowledged ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have developed a polymeric biohybrid cardiac device that harnesses the power of light to electrically and mechanically control living heart tissue ...

In developing hearts, cells shuffle around, bumping into each other to find their place, and the stakes are high: pairing with the wrong cell could mean the difference between a beating heart and one ...

Renowned visionary English physician William Harvey wrote in 1651 about how our blood contains all the secrets of life. "And so I conclude that blood lives and is nourished of itself and in no way ...
