By zooming in on a developing mouse heart, scientists are studying whether defects in vasculature contribute to a thin muscle wall.

Researchers created a nanofibrous scaffold to see how it supports cell growth.

These facial muscle cells were genetically reprogrammed into beating heart cells.

Researchers derive cardiac precursors to form cardiac muscle, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells in mice.

While the heart cells normally burn fatty acids, when things go wrong ketones become the preferred fuel source.

In failing hearts, cardiomyocytes change their fuel preference.

Injections of progenitor cells into damaged rat hearts may improve function, but not because the implants themselves are creating new muscle.

Given the right environment, cKit+ cells from the mouse heart can develop into new cardiac muscle, according to a study.

The latest analysis on GDF11, a proposed antiaging protein, blames discrepancies in the literature on misreported doses and misinterpretation.

A collagen patch seeded with a regenerative protein helps mice and pigs regain cardiac function after a heart attack.

Scientists have developed an interlocking cell scaffold for easy building and dismantling of tissues.

Biotech firm likely to pull the plug after its gene therapy product fails.

Specialized cardiac cells in the mouse heart appear to be the long-sought-after proliferative heart cells.

Microlesions in heart muscle may contribute to cardiac complications in elderly patients, a study shows.

Contrary to previous reports, cell lineage tracing reveals stem cells in the heart rarely contribute to new muscle.

Layer-by-layer manufacturing techniques could help re-make human body parts, or produce entirely new biocompatible machines.

Upon activation, a novel population of resident cardiac cells forms new muscle after damage.
