Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

The study was funded by an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Award (18POST33990469) the National Institutes of Health (R01 HL148714, R00 HL141626) and a Department of Defense Award (PR171540).

In their current study the scientists produced the first high-resolution image of the cardiac thick filament spanning across several regions in the sarcomere. “With 500 nanometer length this makes for ...

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 ...
