PHILADELPHIA - The heart tissue of mammals has limited capacity to regenerate after an injury such as a heart attack, in part due to the inability to reactivate a cardiac muscle cell and proliferation ...

When someone suffers a heart attack, their heart is left permanently scarred and thus less capable of pumping blood. According to a new study, however, a protein injection could help undo such damage.

Scientists develop a microneedle bandage for cardiac tissue regeneration using the mussel adhesive protein (MAP). Damaged cardiac wall is regenerated by delivering biofunctional peptides to the ...

Mount Sinai's Cardiovascular Research Institute is sending bioengineered human heart muscle cells and micro-tissues into space for the first time on NASA's 29 th SpaceX commercial resupply services ...

Researchers have shown that cardiac scar tissue (fibroblasts) can be directly reprogrammed to heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) in mice. By treating mice post-heart attack with a virus carrying ...
