Human organoids provide researchers with unprecedented opportunities, and the findings could lead to drug breakthroughs that may not otherwise happen. For example, the tiny heart model is critical ...

Discovery led by Prof. Yaakov Nahmias from the Hebrew University marks a new era in cardiovascular research, multi-chambered, self-paced miniature heart model, holding the key to saving lives and ...

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 ...

JERUSALEM, August 9, 2023 - A team of researchers, led by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU), has developed a tiny human heart model that could potentially transform cardiovascular research and ...

Researchers from the department of Medical Biology at Amsterdam UMC have recently discovered a gene (SCN10a-short, S10s), which is small enough to fit into an AAV vector, the most efficient gene ...
