Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive structural supports. But a new study reveals they play a far more active signaling ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have developed a polymeric biohybrid cardiac device that harnesses the ...

Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), the leading U.S. non-profit driving Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy care, research, and advocacy efforts, and Secretome Therapeutics (Secretome) are ...

Imaging studies of more than 27,000 adults link a healthier thymus on CT scans with a longer life and lower risks of ...

A detailed molecular analysis of human heart tissue suggested that diabetes may play a more direct role in heart failure than previously recognized — partly by altering lipid metabolism — prompting ...

At first glance, it might not seem like people have much in common with deer. But a strange discovery about how their antlers regenerate is lifting the lid on the unseen ways that our bodies work, too ...

A UC San Diego–led team has discovered that restoring a key cardiac protein called connexin‑43 in a mouse model can dramatically improve heart function and extend survival in several inherited forms ...

The human heart can lose up to one-third of its cardiomyocyte (heart muscle cells) following a severe heart attack, but a new study found that the heart can regrow these cells following ischemia.

Restoring a single heart protein shows promise for improving multiple forms of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. A University of California San Diego-led team has discovered that restoring a key cardiac ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are widely used around the world to study heart disease and test new drugs.
