This important work provides mechanistic insights into the development of cardiac arrhythmia and establishes a new experimental use case for optogenetics in studying cardiac electrophysiology. The ...

During a severe heart attack many heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue to stabilize the heart wall.

UTA professors 3D print heart patch to support cardiac care, in an attempt to one day regenerate damaged cardiac muscle.

This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state ...

Quick facts about the heart What the heart is made of: Heart muscle tissue, also called cardiac muscle tissue What makes the heart beat: Electrical signals Average resting heart rate: 60 to 100 ...

These foods high in protein help build muscle, particularly for those over 50. Adding them to your diet is a great way to maintain muscle mass with age.

Del-zota is part of a new class of RNA therapies called antibody oligonucleotide donjugates. It is designed to deliver phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers to skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue to ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – almost like real, living muscle tissue.

Scientists at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan have developed a Terminator-like hand powered by lab-grown muscle tissues, known as multiple muscle tissue actuators (MuMuTAs ...
