An international team of researchers has discovered a natural mechanism that protects the heart from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a serious condition in need of effective ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have discovered that the heart's own contractions trigger biological signals that guide the formation of a functional beating heart. Subscribe to our ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have discovered that the heart’s own contractions trigger biological signals that guide the formation of a functional beating heart. Their study in zebrafish ...

A recent Nature study uses a combination of single-cell ribonucleic acid (scRNA)-sequencing and high-resolution multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH) to better ...

New research in Sweden has produced a "blueprint" revealing how the human heart is built during prenatal development. It offers insights that could lead to improved prenatal care and new treatments ...

A crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart’s major blood vessels form during early development – and how disruptions to this process can lead to serious congenital heart defects – has ...

An international team of researchers at the University of Manchester, Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions has discovered a natural mechanism that protects the heart from heart ...
