Soft tissues don’t fossilize well, so most of the time scientists have to infer organ anatomy from just bones. But an unexpected treasure trove of new information has been discovered in Australia, ...

Human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can potentially be cultured to produce any cell or tissue that the body needs to repair itself. However, developing the technology to accomplish this for ...

A photosynthetic algae supplies critical oxygen to the heart muscle during a heart attack. Cardiac MRI of an animal that has undergone photosynthetic therapy (1). When a patient rushes to the hospital ...

Cierra Walker, a PhD candidate in the both the Materials Science and Engineering Program and Interdisciplinary Quantitative Biology Program at CU Boulder is the first author on a new paper in Nature ...

New research has discovered a distinct circadian mechanism within heart cells that influences how cardiac activity shifts across 24-hour periods. The findings offer clues to why shift workers are at ...

An organoid model of the human heart provides insights into the pathology of diabetes-induced heart defects in newborns. Researchers from Michigan State University (MI, USA) have used human heart ...

The heart is the first organ to form in a developing embryo, and all subsequent life processes depend on its proper function. But a range of genetic and environmental factors can lead to its failure.
