Researchers have shown for the first time that human heart muscle cells can regrow after a heart attack. The finding ...

The adult human heart was believed incapable of replacing the muscle cells destroyed by a heart attack. A team at the ...

Researchers have uncovered insights into how stem cells develop and mature into heart muscle cells, potentially paving the way for new treatments for heart disease.

The adult heart may be trying to repair itself after a heart attack—it just struggles to finish the job. For decades, the adult heart was treated as an organ with almost no ability to replace the ...

For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, researchers at LiU have used organic electronics based on conductive ...

The human heart can lose up to one-third of its cardiomyocyte (heart muscle cells) following a severe heart attack, but a new study found that the heart can regrow these cells following ischemia.

Microtubules, part of heart muscle cells' internal "skeleton," help determine how the heart changes shape under stress, and a common signaling pathway called the ERK pathway acts as a key controller ...

Dace Gao and Deyu Tu are part of the research group that have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signalling of heart muscle cells. For the first time, scientists have succeeded in ...

Humans can’t regenerate heart muscle damaged by disease, but scientists have long known that some animals, such as zebrafish, can. Researchers have now identified a set of genes in zebrafish that ...

The heart is the body's hardest-working muscle. Whether you're awake or asleep, or exercising or resting, your heart is always at work. It pumps blood through arteries to deliver oxygen to organs and ...
