Muscle patches generated from stem cells helped ease heart problems in monkeys and a human patient, in a potential advance ...

Sheets of lab-grown muscle are being tested as a radical new treatment for heart attacks and heart failure. Promising results ...

A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being ...

Calcium regulation plays a crucial role in cardiac muscle function, influencing the contraction and relaxation cycles of the heart. The heart's ability to pump blood effectively relies on precise ...

Patches of beating, lab-grown muscle sewn into failing hearts can keep patients alive for years while they wait for a ...

All the patients were tested with cardiac positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning to assess how well their hearts were functioning. Researchers also used CT scans to analyse ...

Intramuscular fat, contained within muscle tissue, increases the risk of serious heart disease, regardless of other risk ...

"The latest findings highlight the potential of tissue patches derived from stem cells to treat heart failure, which remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide". Muscle patches made with ...

Watch out! Muscle fat may increase the risk of heart disease and death, regardless of your body mass index (BMI).
