Tissue engineering of heart valves represents a transformative approach to addressing the limitations of conventional prostheses, which are often associated with thrombosis, calcification, and lack of ...

Researchers at RIT are developing non-invasive technology that will better assess cardiac tissue response to thermal energy, a common therapy approach for both cancer and cardiac arrhythmia treatments ...

Millions of people live with atrial fibrillation, a racing, uneven heartbeat that can leave you exhausted and scared. Yet it ...

Mechanical cues are key regulators of cardiac development, yet their role in organoid maturation remains underexplored. In a ...

A new type of tissue-engineered cardiac patch could not only seal defective areas of the heart, as has been the case up to now, but also heal them. An interdisciplinary team led by ETH Zurich has ...

Structural alignment in fibrous tissues like myocardium and tendons is a key biomarker of physiological integrity and ...

Baylor College of Medicine will be a site for a new multi-institution project aimed at investigating preclinical drug safety assessments. The project, known as DATAMAP, the Digital Acceleration of ...

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 ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TARA Biosystems, Inc., a company generating in vitro human biology to increase the success of cardiac disease drug discovery and development, today announced a $10 million ...
