Humans can’t regenerate heart muscle damaged by disease, but scientists have long known that some animals, such as zebrafish, can. Researchers have now identified a set of genes in zebrafish that ...

Earlier this Spring, several members of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute gathered with international experts in cardiovascular research at the Keystone Symposia Conference on Heart Development ...

A multimodal atlas of the developing human heart reveals 21 tissue niches, shows fetal pacemaker cells recruiting their own ...

Kardigan – a heart health company modernizing cardiovascular drug development – announced it launched with a mission to develop multiple targeted treatments in parallel, bringing people with ...

Writing in Science Advances researchers of the University of Cologne describe a key mechanism that controls the decision-making process that allows human embryonic stem cells to make the heart. These ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists—so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...

Formation of heart and vasculature follow a complex series of steps that involve interplay of stimulatory and inhibitory signaling, guidance molecules and cross-talk among numerous cell types. A ...

Scientists at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have developed a multi-chamber organoid that mirrors the heart’s intricate structure. The human ...

A team has induced stem cells to emulate the development of the human heart. The result is a sort of 'mini-heart' known as an organoid. It will permit the study of the earliest development phase of ...
