Scientists from QIMR Berghofer's Cardiac Bioengineering Lab have developed lab-grown, three-dimensional heart tissues known ...

Scientists have found a novel way that includes a new lab-grown material that could help slow and even reverse some of the ...

People with type 2 diabetes who were given ketones before exercise had increased cardiac output, stroke volume, and peripheral muscle oxygenation, which are all indicators of improved heart function.

Previous attempted therapies for heart failure have shown improvements in heart function on the order of 5–10%. cBIN1 gene therapy improved function by 30%. “It’s night and day,” Shaw added.

The ability of the human heart to renew itself by regenerating its muscle cells, myocytes, is very limited. But what happens to this capability when the heart is damaged by severe heart failure ...

Sharma: Future studies will use new model systems, such as 3D heart-on-a-chip constructs and 3D cardiac organoid structures, to get a better understanding of how the human heart functions in space.

As early as three weeks into the embryogenesis process, one of the first organs that starts to function is the human heart. This muscular organ will keep beating approximately once a second until ...

One gene mutation, two diseases, many insights into human heart function Research on a gene mutation that causes holes in the hearts of infants revealed insights into how the heart develops and ...
