Centuries after Leonardo watched a heart beat, a fresh answer is taking shape. A new wave of imaging, genetics, and computation shows that the fine mesh of muscle lining the heart—called ...

We're still catching up with a great deal of Leonardo da Vinci’s ideas, including this one. Scientists combined genetics and ...

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 ...

Using advanced imaging techniques, an international research team has reconstructed an ancient extinct fish ’s heart, brain, ...

An international team led by scientists from the Canadian Museum of Nature and the University of Chicago reconstructed the ...

Radiological images such as computed tomography (CT) and X-rays render anatomy with intrinsic structures. Being able to reliably locate the same anatomical structure across varying images is a ...
