Researchers discover a gut-brain-heart axis where the bacterial metabolite IAA regulates hypocretin neurons to control heart stiffness and blood pressure.

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain – its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat. A better understanding of this system, which ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

Developing new drugs is one of the riskiest and most expensive endeavors in science. Today, The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) announced a bold initiative to improve that trajectory, powered by an up to $30 ...

An international research team has uncovered a new insight into human evolution by comparing humans' hearts with those of other great apes. An international research team from Swansea University and ...

A few years ago, biomedical scientist Jonathan Tsui flew to Florida with unique baggage. He toted compact chambers—smaller than a cell phone—containing 48 bits of human heart tissue. Tsui brought the ...

AN INTERNATIONAL team of scientists have provided new insight into the Frank-Starling mechanism; a fundamental aspect of human heart function. The Frank-Starling mechanism described more than a ...

Researchers focused on Myotonic Dystrophy 1 heart problems are testing a novel approach to restore normal function. Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) is the most common adult-onset form of muscular ...
