Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...

Study shows that cardiac spheroids, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, can be easily transported and injected into damaged areas of the heart to promote its regeneration and recovery ...

Members of the Cardiac Regeneration & Stem Cells theme are developing gene therapies to treat ischemic heart disease and in particular, ischemic heart failure, which is the leading cause of mortality ...

Heart disease is one of the most common pathological conditions in the human body. Cardiac tissue can be damaged through any number of means, including genetic predispositions, lifestyle choices, and ...

Cardiac complications in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are the result of cardiac muscle involvement that accompanies the deterioration of skeletal muscle in the disease. The use of ...

You have 3 different types of muscle: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle alone accounts for over 650 different muscles. Have you ever wondered how many muscles you have in your body? The ...

Drawing inspiration from the muscle protein titin, a group of researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC; Vancouver, BC, Canada) has developed biomaterials that demonstrate some of the ...

The cardiac troponin test detects damage to the heart muscle. Troponin is a protein that appears in the blood only when the heart muscle is damaged, as in a heart attack. There are other causes of ...
