The human heart must constantly adapt to changing demands—a task that requires tightly coordinated molecular shuffling in ...

For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, ...

A heart attack is far from an isolated, acute event. The consequences of an attack can cause serious and lasting damage, ...

Many promising therapies fail because preclinical models do not fully capture the complexity of the human heart. A new review ...

Accurately measuring electrical signals and calcium levels in the heart can lead to earlier treatment of potentially fatal conditions, such as heart attack or congestive heart failure. Calcium plays ...

Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...

Modern cancer treatment has changed what is possible for many patients, with therapies that did not exist even a decade ago now helping patients live longer, control their disease, and in some cases, ...

A newly identified protein may explain why some failing hearts recover function following mechanical support while others do ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. You probably know someone who is affected by cancer. This disease results when cells divide uncontrollably and can make a person ...
