5G cell phone antennas are coming to Pensacola, wireless companies like AT&T and Verizon said this will bring faster internet to the area. But this has raised concerned with many people living in ...

Although today's pacemakers are lifesaving electronic devices, they are limited by their artificial nature. For example, the devices require regular maintenance, must be replaced periodically, and ...

Genetically modified cells that respond to light can be used to stimulate heart tissue to beat, new research reveals. A light-powered pacemaker would use less power than an artificial one ...

Working their way towards energy-efficient pacemakers that use light pulses to control the beating of the heart, scientists at New York's Stony Brook University recently developed optogenetic ...

U.S. scientists have created a “biological” pacemaker to keep the heart beating normally. The experimental technique may someday give cardiologists a new tool for treating patients with heart ...

Researchers working with pigs have developed a way to treat heart rhythm disorders by genetically transforming muscle cells in a tiny section of the heart into specialized “pacemaker cells ...

Here, various gene- and cell-based approaches, with a particular emphasis placed on the use of pluripotent stem cells and the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated-encoded pacemaker ...
