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 new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

People with type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop heart failure, but the reasons are not fully explained by cholesterol, blood pressure and blocked arteries alone. A new study adds another piece ...

A broken heart will mend over time. However, this isn’t the case for heart tissue following a heart attack. While skin and many other tissues of the body retain the ability to repair themselves after ...

They tested this method in a preclinical model of diabetes-induced HFpEF, focusing on blood flow changes in both the heart and the leg muscle. They found that in diabetic subjects, problems in blood ...

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, led by Jianyi “Jay” Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., and Lei Ye, M.D., Ph.D., generated the human leukocyte antigen-knockout ...
