Scientists at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have developed a multi-chamber organoid that mirrors the heart’s intricate structure. The human ...

Researchers have discovered that a certain kind of protein similar to hemoglobin, called cytoglobin, plays an important role in the development of the heart. Specifically, it affects the correct ...

In a landmark study led by the University of Maryland School of Medicine, researchers discovered for the first time that a certain kind of protein similar to hemoglobin, called cytoglobin, plays an ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...

Australian researchers have uncovered 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 ...

image: A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has induced stem cells to emulate the development of the human heart. The result is a sort of “mini-heart” known as an organoid. It will ...

The interventricular septum separates the heart’s two ventricles and plays a vital role in maintaining correct bloodflow. Sometimes a defect can occur or be present from birth. This can increase the ...

A hole in the heart is a nonmedical term for a type of congenital heart defect. There are many types of holes in the heart, and most are present from birth. Around 1% of babies born in the United ...
