Now, the new study provides the translational bridge, proving that a human-compatible viral vector can safely and effectively trigger cell division in adult human heart cells. "Heart disease is the ...

For decades, the medical establishment operated under a grim certainty: once a heart attack strikes, the damage is final. In the United States alone, nearly one million people die annually from heart ...

After a heart attack, cardiologists can reopen blocked vessels and restore blood flow, but the muscle cells that died will never be replaced.

When heart muscle gets damaged, the result is often permanent. Unlike other muscles in the body, the heart has long been believed to lack the ability to heal itself. But recent research suggests that ...

Reintroduction of the Cyclin A2 gene enables adult human cardiomyocytes to divide, producing functional daughter cells and promoting heart repair. The therapy uses a replication-deficient adenoviral ...

After severe heart failure, the ability of the heart to heal by forming new cells is very low. However, after receiving treatment with a supportive heart pump, the capacity of a damaged heart to ...

Type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease—it physically reshapes the heart itself. Researchers studying donated human hearts found that diabetes disrupts how heart cells produce ...

In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that ...

From left to right - the cell in the initial frame is from a 55-year-old donor heart. The next image shows the cell rounding up after receiving Cyclin A2 and the cell division takes place shortly ...
