Scientists from QIMR Berghofer's Cardiac Bioengineering Lab have developed lab-grown, three-dimensional heart tissues known ...

Heart failure (HF) is a growing global health concern, affecting more than 64 million people worldwide. It develops when the heart can no longer pump enough blood to meet the body's demands, often due ...

Researchers using cardiac MRI have found that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with early signs of heart ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have discovered that an oral drug called MA-5 can improve both heart and muscle problems in ...

Frontiers Events is a rapidly growing calendar management system dedicated to the scheduling of academic events. This includes announcements and invitations, participant listings and search ...

Cardiac aging is accompanied by low-grade chronic inflammation termed “inflammaging” (Cevenini et al., 2013), which is linked to gradual development of cardiac fibrosis and heart failure, whereby ...

Hypertrophy of heart cells stimulated by pathological stress from cardiovascular disease increases the risk of morbidity and mortality, and inhibition of such hypertrophy is attracting increasing ...

Both the conduction velocity and pacing frequency at which the alternans onset occurred have been shown to increase with increased gap junction coupling between cells. 73 While lower gap junctional ...

Biochemistry-based studies have also associated a role for the striated muscle–specific protein, nebulin-related anchoring protein (N-RAP), in cardiac muscle mechanotransduction at sites that ...

In pursuit of improving the efficiency of perovskite solar cells, investigation of various types of electron transport materials has gained significant attention. Among them, two-dimensional material ...
