A new study suggests the vagus nerve may be one of the heart’s most important defenders against aging. Researchers found that ...

The heart listens to nerve signals as it ages. New findings show how the vagus nerve may help protect heart muscle over time.

Scientists from QIMR Berghofer's Cardiac Bioengineering Lab have developed lab-grown, three-dimensional heart tissues known as cardiac organoids that mimic the structure and function of real adult ...

An enduring challenge for bioengineering researchers is the failure of the heart to regenerate muscle tissue after a heart attack has killed part of its muscle wall. That dead tissue can strain the ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Twenty years ago, clinicians first attempted to regenerate a failing human heart by injecting muscle myoblasts into the heart during a bypass operation. Despite high initial hopes ...

Yale researchers are exploring a new approach to treat a potentially deadly heart defect. They have begun designing an artificial blood vessel to grow in a patient’s heart. After receiving over $2 ...
