Researchers elucidated the connection between influenza infection and cardiac disease in mammals by studying human and mouse hearts.

Researchers from Mount Sinai have uncovered a possible explanation for why a flu infection can lead to heart disease. They’ve shown from work with mouse models and human data how the immune system ...

A protein-level tension sensor reveals how cell shape and sarcomere maturity determine where cardiomyocytes carry mechanical ...

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) say that it is now possible for the first time to monitor the functional development and maturation of ...

This diagram illustrates how the combination of fibroblast growth factor 4 and ascorbic acid activates the JAK2–STAT3 signaling pathway, promoting the maturation of induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs). This ...

James Marchant is a postdoctoral researcher in Alexandre Colas’s group at Sanford Burnham Prebys. In this Postdoc Portrait, he shares his work on developing a gene therapy for heart failure, why his ...

Novel tissue-embedded nanosensor shows that co-culturing stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes with endothelial cells leads to more functionally mature cardiomyocytes. Heart muscle cells, called ...
