Our research suggests that the human heart has adapted to support our upright stance, movement and larger brain. Over the last 10 years, we have been conducting assessments of the cardiovascular ...

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.

"Our work was the first to show that we can regenerate the porcine heart after injury, and now we've advanced the field by demonstrating that even middle-aged adult human heart cells—long believed ...

The human heart, a powerful, fist-sized organ, is the hardest working muscle in the body. It works 24/7, pumping blood through vessels (its partner in the makeup of the circulatory system), so oxygen ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that the heart's beating strength and constant movement may naturally block the growth of cancer.

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 ...

Mammals, from the mighty blue whale to the tiny shrew, inhabit nearly every corner of our planet. Their remarkable adaptability to different environments has long fascinated scientists, with each ...
