Scientists have developed the first fully autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish swims by recreating the muscle contractions of a pumping ...

Each cardiac muscle cell can have over 5,000 sarcomeres, which compounds both the shortening and relaxation events. "This process appears to be regulated by myosin-binding protein-C (cMyBP-C), which ...

In a surprising discovery, scientists have found that the heart possesses 'sweet taste' receptors, similar to those on our tongues, and that stimulating these receptors with sweet substances can ...

Researchers from the Heart Center of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) led by Priv.-Doz. Dr. Sören Brandenburg have identified a protein that plays a central role in the heart's adaptation ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Force enhancement (FE) is a phenomenon that is present in skeletal muscle. It is characterized by progressive forces upon active ...

An experimental Cytokinetics drug has Phase 3 data showing it improved the ability of the heart to work during exercise. In addition to meeting this main goal of its pivotal test in a rare ...

Mammalian hearts have almost no ability to grow new heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, after birth. Thus, dead tissue after an adult heart attack is not repaired with new cardiomyocytes. It is ...

Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University have developed a nanosensor-based hardware and software complex for measurement of cardiac micropotential energies without filtering and averaging-out ...
