When someone suffers a heart attack, their heart is left permanently scarred and thus less capable of pumping blood. According to a new study, however, a protein injection could help undo such damage.

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have developed a polymeric biohybrid cardiac device that harnesses the ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart “tissue-on-a-chip” specimens into space as early as March. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes ...

Human heart cells and tissues grown in the laboratory from stem cells promise to accelerate the development of drugs and treatments for heart disease, but they currently take weeks or months to grow.

Microengineered human heart tissue is headed to space in an effort to further research on aging and the effects of long space flight. The collaboration between Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University ...
