In mice, blocking heart-to-brain signals improved healing after a heart attack, hinting at new targets for cardiac therapy.

Maintaining a stable heartbeat is critical for survival. Your heart must constantly adapt its output to meet changing demands for oxygen and nutrients. Traditionally, scientists have attributed this ...

University of California San Diego-led team has discovered that restoring a key cardiac protein called connexin‑43 in a mouse ...

A naturally occurring fat molecule reduced heart inflammation and scarring caused by diabetes, thereby improving cardiac function, according to new research. The findings open the door to developing a ...

New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain - its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat. A better understanding of this system, which ...

Scientists have uncovered why people with chronic kidney disease so often die from heart problems: damaged kidneys release ...

Researchers unveiled BeatProfiler, a groundbreaking new tool -- a comprehensive software that automates the analysis of heart cell function from video data. It's the first system to integrate the ...

Understanding heart function and disease, as well as testing new drugs for heart conditions, has long been a complex and time-consuming task. A promising way to study disease and test new drugs is to ...

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 ...
