Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

With a new $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute investigators are moving closer to their goal of developing a biological pacemaker that can treat ...

"The pacemaker generated from embryonic stem cells exhibits the molecular, electrical and functional properties characteristic of human pacemaker cells," said Prof. Gepstein. "It is an effective and ...

Researchers from Amsterdam UMC have overturned a key assumption in the biological pacemaker field. In a new preclinical study, they show that the transcription factor TBX18 does not generate true ...

Is it time to ditch the hardware? Adult heart cells can be trained to act like electronic pacemakers with a little genetic encouragement, says a team that has achieved the feat in pigs. In healthy ...

Pacemakers are medical devices implanted in the body to regulate heart rhythms. They're composed of electronic circuits with batteries and leads anchored to the heart muscle to stimulate it. However, ...

WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - Researchers have succeeded in turning ordinary cardiac muscle cells into specialized ones that deliver a steady heartbeat using a gene therapy procedure they predict ...
