After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs.

Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the first time, identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D ...

Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the first time, identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo. For ...

At the beginning of the process, the cells were capable of becoming various types, but within a few hours heart cells began to differentiate and started behaving in highly organised ways.

Scientists have tried creating 3D-printed heart tissues using cells and soft materials to patch the damage. These bioprinted tissues can help, but they have a serious flaw. They can’t produce ...

An MRI-agent “cage” that allows for the visualization of "zombie cells" and a new strategy to treat cardiovascular fibrosis feature in this week's Research Roundup.

Our work introduces an entirely new type of therapy capable of addressing ... While Nrf2 protects heart cells from stress and inflammation, Keap1 physically binds to Nrf2, regulating its function.

At the very earliest stages, embryonic cells were multipotent (capable of becoming various cell types). These included not only heart cells but also others such as endocardial cells, a type of ...
