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. ...
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 mechanical properties of engineered tissues growing in 96- or 384-well plates and ...
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 ...
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. ...
