Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing how type 2 diabetes directly reshapes the human heart, altering both its energy production and physical structure.

Diabetes has long been treated as a disease of blood sugar, but a growing body of research suggests it is also a disease of ...

Study reveals how an RNA enzyme drives the postnatal switch from glucose to fatty acids in heart cells, highlighting ketogenesis as essential for metabolism. Study: The tRNA methyltransferase Mettl1 ...

Researchers have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development. The ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...

A new method using mini-organs has been presented to identify changes in human heart tissue caused by tire-derived pollutants ...

Heart muscle cells grown from patient stem cells—known as human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes, or hiPSC-CMs—are a promising way to repair hearts damaged by heart attacks and ...

Phase II ARCHER trial showed a significant reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass (p=0.0117) and improvements in multiple key cardiac MRI (CMR) measures of structural heart recovery in patients with ...

Patients with a common heart arrhythmia called Atrial Fibrillation could benefit from future treatments that target inefficiencies in heart cell metabolism, according to a new article. Patients with a ...
