Heart development: Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research have discovered important mechanisms for regulating embryonic heart development. The proteins RBPMS and RBPMS2 ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...

The heartbeat is synonymous with life. It’s one of the of the first essential functions to begin during development and to end at death. “The heart is one of the first organs to form and function ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...

image: A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has induced stem cells to emulate the development of the human heart. The result is a sort of “mini-heart” known as an organoid. It will ...

An advanced human heart organoid system can be used to model embryonic heart development under pregestational diabetes-like conditions, researchers report. The organoids recapitulate hallmarks of ...

SLC25A1 is critical for placental development and indirectly affects heart health Deleting SLC25A1 in placental tissue causes both placental and heart defects PSG1 supplementation may become a ...

A study from Stanford researchers identifies the CXCL12 gene as a crucial regulator of the posterior descending artery’s development in the human heart. The findings, which link this gene to heart ...

A project at Stevens Institute of Technology has developed a software tool able to reveal previously unseen time-dependent details of tissues imaged with OCT. Reported in Biomedical Optics Express, ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide. Several risk factors, including genetics, sex, and age, increase the risk of CVDs. Other factors that contribute to CVD ...
