In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that ...

A naturally occurring gene called Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), which turns off after birth in humans, can actually make new, functioning heart cells and help the heart repair itself from injury, including a ...

Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing how type 2 diabetes directly reshapes the human heart, altering both its energy production and physical structure.

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 ...

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 ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

A research team reported recently that heart muscle cells grown from induced pluripotent stem cells can integrate into the hearts of monkeys with a state of pressure overload. Heart muscle cells grown ...

In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that ...

Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular heart rhythm that increases a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure and even premature death. While many risk factors contribute to A-fib, one stands ...

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 ...
