The researchers, from Imperial’s National Heart and Lung Institute and King's College London, analysed 13 clinical trials – involving more than 164,000 participants – that asses more

New research published in The Journal of Physiology has indicated a potential new stem cell treatment following a heart attack, by encouraging the regeneration of heart muscle cells. The low retention and survival rate of stem cells implanted in the heart had previously proven a sticking point for s more

Using a variation of CRISPR gene editing may be a potential strategy for mimicking the protective effects of a genetic mutation linked to lower cholesterol levels and heart disease risks, according to new mouse research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

In the lab of biomedical engineer Nenad Bursac of Duke University, patches of human heart tissue beat rhythmically on their own accord. Each translucent patch—on some days up to about 15 patches, 4 centimeters by 4 centimeters each—sits suspended in its own dish on a gently rocking platform. A red b more
