Millions of people live with atrial fibrillation, a racing, uneven heartbeat that can leave you exhausted and scared. Yet it ...

In a world-first, scientists at Tel Aviv University have successfully 3D printed a tiny human heart using real human cells. This innovation could reshape the future of organ transplants, offering a ...

Despite its importance, the heart is one of the few tissues in the human body that can't repair damage very well – or at least, that's what has long been presumed. Scientists in Australia have now ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are ...

Though an estimated 60 million people around the world have atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, a type of irregular and often fast heartbeat, it's been at least 30 years since any new treatments have been ...

From left to right - the cell in the initial frame is from a 55-year-old donor heart. The next image shows the cell rounding up after receiving Cyclin A2 and the cell division takes place shortly ...

Reintroduction of the Cyclin A2 gene enables adult human cardiomyocytes to divide, producing functional daughter cells and promoting heart repair. The therapy uses a replication-deficient adenoviral ...

Recent research from Sydney University uncovers that type 2 diabetes can profoundly change the heart's structure, resulting in increased stiffness and reduced strength. This microscopic deterioration ...
