Researchers at the University of Toronto and its partner hospitals have led the development of a heart-on-a-chip device to study the effects of a genetic mutation that causes dilated cardiomyopathy, a ...

Mouse hearts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 28 days after infarction. While the hearts in the control group (left) show typical signs of damage, such as dilatation of the ventricle and damage to ...

In a heartbeat, cardiac muscle cells contract to push blood out to the body, then relax to allow the heart to fill again. This is possible because muscle proteins are organized into sarcomeres ...

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

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, X-linked genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration affecting the skeletal, respiratory, and cardiac muscles. It is caused by ...

Muscle patches generated from stem cells helped ease heart problems in monkeys and a human patient, in a potential advance towards improving treatments for the scourge of cardiac failure. Rhesus ...

Full Release Four-year data show preservation of cardiac function, including LVEF Skeletal muscle disease progression continues to slow with extended treatment (PUL v2.0) Deramiocel’s long-term ...

Britta Larsen, PhD, says men with a higher area of abdominal muscle have a greater risk of cardiac trouble. It's a completely different story for men with greater muscle density.
