New hope offered by a pharmacy team for treating heart disease by sharing insights into the fundamental process of how the heart is formed in utero. From his lab at the University of Houston College ...

A multidisciplinary team working at Pennsylvania State University claim to have used human stem cells to regenerate the cells that cover the external surface of a human heart. The new research may one ...

A process using human stem cells can generate the epicardium cells that cover the outer surface of a human heart. “In 2012, we discovered that if we treated human stem cells with chemicals that ...

New research from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Columbia University in the United States has revealed something ...

There are three layers of the heart, and scientists from Penn State are working on using stem cells to recreate epicardium cells on the exterior, the muscular layer in the middle, and the endocardial ...

Medical researchers have found that a key to the zebrafish's ability to regenerate cardiac tissue lies in the outer layer of the heart known as the epicardium. When this critical layer is damaged, the ...

Stem cell technology has produced some very exciting advances in medicine recently. Now a recent study from Penn State details how researchers coaxed ordinary skin cells to grow into heart cells.

Cardiac tamponade is when fluid collects around the heart muscle, for instance, due to trauma. It puts strain on the heart and stops it working effectively. Symptoms include a drop in blood pressure ...
