Researchers identified two major intrinsic cardiac neuron populations in mice: Npy-positive neurons regulate parasympathetic ...

A team of researchers led by Emory's Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow and survive in the microgravity environment of space. The team's findings, published in Biomaterials, ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...

Researchers have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development. The ...

Researchers have discovered that microscopic structural changes in the aging heart may help prevent irregular heartbeats. The discovery challenges the idea that all age-related heart changes are ...

Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect, affecting approximately 1 in 100 babies born each year. One of the many causes for this disorder is having only one functional copy of the ...
