Stem Cell-Derived Cardiac Muscle Patches A cutting-edge approach using stem cell-derived cardiac muscle patches has shown the potential to repair damaged heart tissue. In studies involving monkeys and a human patient with advanced heart disease, these patches improved cardiac function within three to six months. ...
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are a remarkable type of stem cell found in various tissues, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord. These cells have garnered significant attention in the field of regenerative medicine and therapeutic research due to their unique properties and potential applications. ...
The printer can be programmed to create precise and intricate structures, mimicking the complex architecture of natural tissues. Once printed, the cells in the bio-ink are carefully nurtured in a controlled environment to allow them to grow and mature into functional tissue. ...

Abnormalities in muscle function are observed in many inherited or acquired diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and congestive heart failure. The Palpator is a high-throughput mechanical tissue analyzer that measures the mechaniÂcal properties of engineered tissues growing in 96- or 384-well plates and ...
As a result, less oxygen-rich blood is delivered to organs and other tissues. What is the difference between HFpEF and HFrEF? We classify heart failure based on which of these two functions is abnormal. ...
Warnings include: only trained physicians may use this system, prescribing physicians should be experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure and should be familiar with the use of this system, monitor blood pressure and heart rate during Carotid Sinus Lead placement and when adjusting stimulation parameters intra-operatively, post-implantation, ...

The heart is a unique organ in many respects since its activity is mandatory to sustain life. The heart’s circulatory system and coronary flow regulation are highly adapted to the vital role of the heart in sustaining life and to everyday physiological challenges. Understanding coronary physiology is key for treating patients with ischemic heart disease in general, and ...
Without treatment, this can lead to more serious complications, including fatigue, irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) and heart failure. Pediatric cardiomyopathy can be classified into four broad categories: Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) The most common form of pediatric cardiomyopathy, DCM occurs when the heart muscle tissue in one or both ...
Since the way DNA is folded is essential for gene regulation, this research not only has implications for a series of genetic diseases including heart defects, cleft palate, microcephaly, and intellectual disability, but will also better guide BRD4 targeting drug development, some of which are undergoing clinical trials, as promising interventions for the treatment of cancer and ...
In around 50% of people living with SLE, a major organ or tissue, such as heart, lungs, kidneys or brain, will be affected. Recent clinical developments in SLE, and the associated lupus nephritis, have focused on inhibiting the activation of auto-reactive B-cells or pathways leading to autoimmunity and inflammation. ...
The ventricular myocardium of the human heart is composed of an anisotropic tissue structure that allows for force generation and contraction to pump blood throughout the body. ...
After $60 minutes of occlusion, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA; 1.42 mg/kg) was given intravenously over 90 minutes. ...
