The hypoxia response has been found to be vital for the proper formation of the heart ventricles during gestation, adding an additional stage to embryonic development. A new study from the Centro ...

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common chronic cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice, is very challenging to treat once ...

Human heart development is largely influenced by neural crest cells, which carefully regulate a key growth signal.

Mechanical cues are key regulators of cardiac development, yet their role in organoid maturation remains underexplored. In a new study, researchers introduce a magnetic torque stimulation (MTS) system ...

A University of Houston pharmacology researcher and expert in cardiac development has identified a new cause of—and repair for—left ventricular non-compaction, also known as spongy heart disease. The ...

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, yet progress in understanding and treating cardiac disorders is limited by the shortcomings of existing experimental models. Traditional ...

Researchers at the University of Houston have provided new insights into the basic process of heart development in utero, offering potential advancements in the treatment of heart disease. The study ...
