Rice University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based gene activation strategy that boosts mitochondrial production in damaged heart cells, improving cardiac function after heart attacks in both ...

This diagram illustrates how the combination of fibroblast growth factor 4 and ascorbic acid activates the JAK2–STAT3 signaling pathway, promoting the maturation of induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs). This ...

Researchers reveal that cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle cells replace their existing stock of ribosomes with a different type which can make physical contact with mitochondria, the batteries of the ...

This important work identifies phlda2 as a specific marker for primordial cardiomyocytes in the adult zebrafish heart and demonstrates their essential role in myocardial morphogenesis and coronary ...

Novel tissue-embedded nanosensor shows that co-culturing stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes with endothelial cells leads to more functionally mature cardiomyocytes. Heart muscle cells, called ...

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) say that it is now possible for the first time to monitor the functional development and maturation of ...
