The adult mammalian heart bears limited regenerative capacity, resulting in the irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes post-cardiac injury, and often culminating in end-stage heart failure. Cardiomyocyte ...

Stanford researchers identify two proteins that cause rare heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccination, offering insights ...

A rapid, two-step immune reaction may underlie rare cases of heart inflammation seen after Covid mRNA vaccination, Stanford University researchers found, shedding light on a mechanism that’s fueled ...

Heart muscle cells grown from patient stem cells—known as human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes, or ...

Mice lacking the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C showed a reduced ability to repair muscular damage compared to controls.

Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. To visit it and marvel at the ...

A cell is fundamentally a container—a vessel that encapsulates life at the most basic level. Many biologists believe encapsulation of chemicals may have been necessary for evolution to gain traction.

This study shows that vacancy-engineered MoS₂ nanoflowers drive mitochondrial biogenesis in human mesenchymal stem cells by ...

Professors Guillermo Ameer and Cheng Sun contributed to work that points to a new approach for heart bypass grafts.

Cross-species functional genomics identify ribosomal protein genes as key regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart development, implicating them as candidate modifiers for HLHS and ...
