Not all scars are created equal. That's the conclusion of a new study by Weizmann Institute of Science researchers: They found that two distinct types of scars, referred to as "hot" and "cold," can ...

Cardiac muscle tissue, or myocardium ... including fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and cardiomyocytes. Cardiac muscle only develops in the heart. It contains cardiac muscle cells, which perform ...

Their method relies on combining fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4 ... could provide a personalized solution for regenerating heart tissue, establishing a significant advance in combating ...

This allows us to create more advanced bioprinted heart tissue, with the ability to mature in a laboratory setting, better replicating adult human heart structure. We are excited to build on this ...

Understanding why newborns, but not adults, can regenerate the heart could lead to treatments that "reprogram" adult ...

Newborns with heart complications can rely on their newly developed immune systems to regenerate cardiac tissues, but adults aren't so lucky.

Prolonged exposure to microgravity in space weakens the heart muscle and disrupts the heart’s rhythm, Johns Hopkins scientists have found.

F-FAPI PET -- can detect the first signs of tissue remodeling in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), providing physicians with an early marker for disease progression. This approach ...

Many studies have reported that obesity causes heart failure (HF ... with elevated morbidity and mortality. In addition, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has been suggested to be involved ...

After a heart attack, most adults struggle to regenerate healthy heart tissue, leading to scar tissue buildup and, often, heart failure. A study in mice by Northwestern Medicine researchers has ...
