Researchers at the University of Arizona say a previously unknown population of circulating immune cells play a critical role ...

Scientists reveal how mapping cellular interactions in the heart could unlock better recovery after heart attacks.

Biomedical engineering researcher Shijie Zhou brings a computational approach to the quest for better treatments for ...

When someone suffers a heart attack, their heart is left permanently scarred and thus less capable of pumping blood. According to a new study, however, a protein injection could help undo such damage.

A new microneedle patch delivers IL-4 directly into damaged heart tissue, helping the heart rebuild after a heart attack. The treatment encourages immune cells to switch into a healing mode while ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona have uncovered a previously unknown population of circulating immune cells that play ...

Scientists at the UCSF-affiliated Gladstone Institutes today are announcing a research breakthrough in mice that one day may help doctors restore hearts damaged by heart attacks — by converting ...

Researchers at WashU Medicine have reduced scar formation and improved heart function in mouse models of heart failure using a monoclonal antibody treatment. Untreated mice develop major scarring ...

A team of researchers from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) has taken a step forward in understanding the complex structure of heart scars that form after a myocardial infarction.

African scientists have developed a nanoscale drug delivery system to treat pericarditis, a drug-resistant and lethal ...

A team of researchers that were responsible for developing the technology include doctors coming from the UVA Health reports the success of the new approach in an article uploaded to the scientific ...

It is estimated that during a heart attack, one billion cells in the heart are lost. In the wake of the heart attack, the lost tissue is replaced by scar tissue, which can lead to heart failure, ...
