Scientists at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have developed a multi-chamber organoid that mirrors the heart’s intricate structure. The human ...

Scientists just published the most detailed map of the developing human heart to date. The atlas includes 75 types of heart cells, including cell types in the heart's valves and the muscles that fuel ...

How did your heart form? What triggered your first heartbeat? To this day, the mechanisms of human heart development remain elusive. Researchers know the heart is the first organ to fully function in ...

A crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart’s major blood vessels form during early development – and how disruptions to this process can lead to serious congenital heart defects – has ...

For the first time, scientists have shown that heart muscle cells can regrow after a heart attack in humans, a process that had previously only been observed in mice.

Using a combination for spatial, single-cell transcriptomics and imaging data from 36 hearts, scientists from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and their collaborators have come up with what they ...

New research in Sweden has produced a “blueprint” revealing how the human heart is built during prenatal development. It offers insights that could lead to improved prenatal care and new treatments ...

Though an estimated 60 million people around the world have atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, a type of irregular and often fast heartbeat, it's been at least 30 years since any new treatments have been ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...
