Scientists have created a three-dimensional "heart-on-a-chip" (HOC) that could provide a breakthrough in the fight against the world's leading cause of death, cardiovascular disease. One major ...

The heart is the body's hardest-working muscle. Whether you're awake or asleep, or exercising or resting, your heart is always at work. It pumps blood through arteries to deliver oxygen to organs and ...

3D heart on a chip technology: Scientists have created a groundbreaking 3D heart-on-a-chip. This lab-grown tissue beats and ...

Canadian researchers have developed a beating three-dimensional heart-on-a-chip with real-time cellular sensing, offering a ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

Sustainable engraftment of heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) can be achieved by implanting patches of engineered heart muscle onto the surface of the heart under immune suppression. Evidence from ...

As the most important muscle in our body, any serious issues with our heart are considered critical and reason for replacement with a donor heart. Unfortunately donor hearts are rather rare, making ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart “tissue-on-a-chip” specimens into space as early as March. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes ...

A heart attack cuts off blood flow and oxygen to heart tissue. This can damage muscle and, in severe cases, cause the heart wall to rupture. Surgeons often repair these defects with patches made from ...

Health First's cardiac MRI offers precise diagnoses for complex heart conditions, guiding critical treatment decisions.

New study reveals how influenza virus infiltrates heart tissue via specialised immune cells, triggering damaging interferon ...
