The virus moved through the bloodstream into the heart, where it delivered the cBIN1 gene into heart cells. For this heart failure model, heart failure generally leads to death within a few months.

According to the researchers, the data obtained can become the basis for the development of safe protocols for cardiac cell ...

Millions of people around the world die from heart failure every year. In future, a laboratory-grown heart patch could help with severe cases of cardiovascular disease, say scientists behind a ...

Renowned visionary English physician William Harvey wrote in 1651 about how our blood contains all the secrets of life. "And so I conclude that blood lives and is nourished of itself and in no way ...

In developing hearts, cells shuffle around, bumping into each other to find their place, and the stakes are high: pairing with the wrong cell could mean the difference between a beating heart and one ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are widely used around the world to study heart disease and test new drugs.

Injecting infarcted pig hearts with specially bioengineered cells significantly decreased the infarct area and improved heart function, showing possible clinical relevance “It is widely acknowledged ...

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 ...
