World-first: Chinese scientists grow human heart tissue in pig embryo, beats for 21 days
In a scientific “first,” a tiny heart structure composed of human cells has been successfully grown within a pig embryo. Interestingly, this heart kept beating on its own for an impressive 21 days.
Researchers focused on Myotonic Dystrophy 1 heart problems are testing a novel approach to restore normal function. Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) is the most common adult-onset form of muscular ...
New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain – its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat. A better understanding of this system, which ...
