For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, researchers at LiU have used organic electronics based on conductive ...

The development of novel therapeutics offers great hope for the fight against widespread diseases such as cancer, but they can impair the cardiovascular system, so development often fails early on.

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 ...

A Johns Hopkins-led study reports that severe obesity in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is linked to weakened contraction of heart muscle cells, but this defect may ...
