Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form ...

Human heart development is largely influenced by neural crest cells, which carefully regulate a key growth signal.

In order for heart and vascular cells to develop properly and remain healthy for a long time, many processes in the cells must interact precisely. A new study from the German Center for Cardiovascular ...

Mechanical cues are key regulators of cardiac development, yet their role in organoid maturation remains underexplored. In a new study, researchers introduce a magnetic torque stimulation (MTS) system ...

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, yet progress in understanding and treating cardiac disorders is limited by the shortcomings of existing experimental models. Traditional ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have discovered that the heart’s own contractions trigger biological signals that guide the formation of a functional beating heart. Their study in zebrafish ...

A University of Houston pharmacology researcher and expert in cardiac development has identified a new cause of—and repair for—left ventricular non-compaction, also known as spongy heart disease. The ...
