Heart attacks cause both long- and short-term problems. In the short-term, the death of cardiac muscle cells can cause a critical drop in the heart's ability to function. Over the long haul ...

"To date, the majority of studies using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac muscle cells have focused on single cell functional analysis," says senior author Todd J. Herron, Ph.D., an ...

A better alternative may be to use human heart muscle ... cell-derived cardiomyocytes. The next goals will be to determine if these large animal experiments show similar improvements in cardiac ...

"We differentiate induced pluripotent stem cells into cardiac muscle cells ... behavior to traditional histology and state-of-the-art gene expression analyses at the individual cell level.

The researchers behind the paper, based at Harvard, decided to use cardiac muscle cells to power their robot. A couple of years ago, this would have meant dissecting out a heart from an ...

and is a cardiac muscle grown in a laboratory from cardiac cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells embedded in a collagen hydrogel. The simulation of this treatment in monkeys was the ...

Have a big one of those and lie on it, in fact. It’s possible, certainly, to grow cardiac muscle cells from stem cells to turn them into cardiac muscle cells. … Not only can we make stem cells into ...

Researchers have identified a crucial growth factor, BMP7, capable of stimulating cardiac muscle cell proliferation and regeneration, potentially offering new treatments for heart injuries.

Through this experiment, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai researchers aim to gain a better understanding of how cardiac muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, adapt to extreme biological stresses ...
