Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have discovered that the heart's own contractions trigger biological signals that ...

The heart is a muscle like no other, beating 60 to 100 times per minute on average, around the clock. But when it grows weak, it can lead to serious problems: from debilitating shortness of breath ...

But we're proposing a more direct consequence, where we have a spike in our blood sugar after eating a meal, and that's binding to these sweet taste receptors on the heart muscle cells, causing a ...

Moreover, while the deficiency in the ribosomal protein, known as RPL3L, altered translation dynamics for the entire tissue, its effects were most pronounced for proteins related cardiac muscle ...

Spontaneous local increases in the concentration of intracellular calcium, called "calcium sparks," were detected in quiescent rat heart cells with a laser scanning confocal microscope and the ...

Sweet taste receptors in the heart: A new pathway for cardiac regulation New research shows that the heart can sense sweeteners and can increase the force of heart muscle contraction in response ...
