NT-proBNP is one of the most widely used tested biomarkers in medicine. Doctors rely on it to diagnose and monitor heart ...

In the late 1960s, three Weizmann Institute of Science researchers developed several protein-like molecules, called copolymers, that they believed would produce a disease similar to multiple sclerosis ...

Researchers mapped 442,239 single nuclei from nonfailing human hearts to chart how cardiac cells change from fetal ...

Our heart muscle is studded with tiny dyads, intricately designed structures that manage incoming electrical signals and calcium release to coordinate our heartbeats. Could gene therapy help maintain ...

Transferring mitochondria from a patient's healthy skeletal muscle to damaged, ischemic heart tissue has been shown to restore heart muscle, increase energy production, and improve ventricular ...

It's been estimated that over one lifetime, a heart will beat 2.5 to 3 billion times without stopping. Yet the mechanics of how the heart physically carries out this function flawlessly, without fail, ...

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 ...

Preclinical studies show that engineered heart muscle (EHM) can remuscularize damaged heart tissue, but most evidence comes from small-animal studies, which have limited ability to predict outcomes in ...

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 ...

Running, often seen as a demanding workout, doesn't always require long distances or hours of effort to benefit heart health. In fact, studies suggest that even running for a few seconds at a time can ...
