A recent mouse study in the journal Cell suggests that the intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS) is vital for proper functioning of the mouse heart. Integrating genetic, imaging, and cell-specific ...

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have discovered that a ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have determined the full-length structure of a blood pressure-regulating hormone receptor for the first time, uncovering how it functions, which may enable better ...

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 team of researchers led by Emory's Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow and survive in the microgravity environment of space. The team's findings, published in Biomaterials, ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...
