Despite such vast biological diversity, it was believed until recently that the structure and function of the heart across mammals was the same. But research from my colleagues and I reveals that the ...

In a new study, published today (12 July) in Nature, researchers have produced the most detailed and comprehensive human Heart Cell Atlas to date, including the specialised tissue of the cardiac ...

The heart is the central organ of the human circulatory system. Both congenital and acquired structural changes in the heart can lead to hemodynamic alterations affecting the function of various ...

Researchers have examined the early stages of heart development, showing how complex meshes of muscle grow to form a complex 3D pump structure.

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.

Chinese scientists have, for the first time, cultivated a beating heart structure with human cells in a pig embryo, reporting that the heart continued to beat for 21 days unaided.

People with excess adiposity in young adulthood were more likely to have adverse cardiac structure and function later in life compared with people without it, researchers reported in the European ...

New research reveals that the human heart has evolved distinct structural and functional traits that set it apart from our closest great ape relatives.
