Bioluminescent imaging is helping researchers better understand the effectiveness of tissue regeneration enhancers delivered to injured heart tissue by different adeno-associated virus vectors.

Among the 3 tissue layers forming the mature adult heart (endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium), comparatively less attention has been paid to the endocardium, as it was primarily thought as a ...

BACKGROUND: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes is a potentially curative strategy for ischemic heart ...

This paper describes a modeling technique for studying propagation in cardiac tissue at a microscopic level. The model consisted of realistically shaped myocytes embedded in an extracellular matrix ...

Researchers using cardiac MRI have found that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with early signs of heart ...

Researchers using cardiac MRI have found that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with early signs of heart damage, according to a study that was published in Radiology. The research ...

Cyclic Stretch Induces Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells to Secrete Connective Tissue Growth Factor and Promote Endothelial Progenitor Cell Differentiation and Angiogenesis ...

What the heart is made of: Heart muscle tissue, also called cardiac muscle tissue What makes the heart beat: Electrical signals Average resting heart rate: 60 to 100 beats per minute (in adults) ...

Quick facts about the heart What the heart is made of: Heart muscle tissue, also called cardiac muscle tissue What makes the heart beat: Electrical signals Average resting heart rate: 60 to 100 ...

A simple, idealized mathematical model of cardiac tissue is used to show that electrical fields applied with the intent of defibrillating the heart can be effective deep within (that is, many space ...
