A new way to wind the development clock of cardiac muscle cells Date: May 15, 2019 Source: University of Wisconsin-Madison Summary: A study published in the journal Stem Cells describes a new and ...

Understanding the process by which dead cardiac muscle cells are replaced by scar is centrally important to regenerative medicine and its efforts to treat causes of heart damage such as myocardial ...

“We could demonstrate for the first time the presence of special stem cells in human vascular walls that have the ability to develop into beating cardiac muscle cells under culture conditions”, ...

Cardiac muscle cells as good as progenitors for heart repair Date: October 22, 2015 Source: Cell Press Summary: Stem cell therapies for post-heart attack tissue repair have had modest success at ...

A new study provides useful insight into the behaviour of stem cell-derived heart muscle cells which have interested researchers for many years as potential replacement for damaged cardiac tissue ...

Cardio boost Cardiac muscle cells are capable of extensive replication during pre-adolescence, a new study in mice suggests. The findings overturn the common wisdom that mammalian heart cells stop ...

A better alternative may be to use human heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes), suggests a study published Oct. 22 in Stem Cell Reports, the journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research.

Cardiac muscle cells can be grown, as can the smooth muscle that makes up the blood vessels that supply the heart, and crucial endothelial cells that line the coronary blood vessels, they say.

Cardiac muscle cells Cardiac (heart) muscle cells are branched, and they join together to make a net. Cardiac muscle cells contract rhythmically, even outside the body. They never get tired.

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 ...

Mount Sinai's Cardiovascular Research Institute is sending bioengineered human heart muscle cells and micro-tissues into space for the first time on NASA's 29th SpaceX commercial resupply services ...
