Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have found that studying blood flow in leg ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial ...

The study has found that semaglutide can reduce heart mass in healthy individuals, potentially increasing the risk of heart failure and other cardiovascular problems. When heart mass decreases, the ...

The patches of muscle, grown from cells in a dish, are sewn on to the outside of the patient’s heart, where they boost its ability to pump blood round the body. “This exciting study is an ...

Previous attempts to use cell therapies have failed - but early results using a new type of muscle patch look promising Many people who have heart attacks eventually experience the organ becoming ...

Researchers have shown that patches of muscle grown from stem cells can help to repair a failing heart, in a clinical trial that tested the procedure on a 46-year-old woman. The woman, who had a ...

A recent study found that the fat stored in muscles can damage blood vessels. This can increase the risk of hospitalisation or death due to heart disease, regardless of body mass index (BMI).

Fat deposits in muscles can increase the risk of a heart emergency For every 1% increase in muscle fat, there’s a 7% increased risk of death, heart attack or heart failure This risk was independent of ...
