In order for heart and vascular cells to develop properly and remain healthy for a long time, many processes in the cells ...

Researchers at DZHK found that lamin A/C regulates cysteine metabolism, which in turn controls epigenetic gene switches in ...

This unexpected ability opens the door for scientists to stimulate cellular mitosis and improve heart function after an ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

In mice, blocking heart-to-brain signals improved healing after a heart attack, hinting at new targets for cardiac therapy.

Heart failure is a leading cause of death and disability. Unfortunately, this affects millions of individuals and their loved ones. Ineffective heart function can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue, ...

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 ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...

Accurately measuring electrical signals and calcium levels in the heart can lead to earlier treatment of potentially fatal conditions, such as heart attack or congestive heart failure. Calcium plays ...
