The individual cells are interconnected via cell-cell contacts so that the electrical conduction necessary for cardiac contraction can take place in a controlled manner. New cardiac muscle cells ...

A better alternative may be to use human heart muscle ... cell-derived cardiomyocytes. The next goals will be to determine if these large animal experiments show similar improvements in cardiac ...

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

Most muscles in our bodies only act in response to incoming nerve signals, which have to trigger each individual muscle ... decided to use cardiac muscle cells to power their robot.

Stem cells may help regenerate heart muscle damaged after heart attacks ... health care providers will hopefully recognize the benefits that cardiac regeneration can offer. And Hare added that ...

Researchers have made a major advance in efforts to regenerate damaged hearts. Grafts of human cardiac muscle cells, grown from embryonic stem cells, coupled electrically and contracted ...

The findings are especially important because less than 1% of adult cardiac muscle cells can regenerate. "Most people die with most of the same cardiomyocytes they had in the first month of life ...

Minute differences in individual muscle cell contractions allow the entire muscle to flex with greater control and accuracy. Long dismissed as “noise” or error, experts now suspect that biological ...

A better alternative may be to use heart muscle ... stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. The next goals will be to determine if these large animal experiments show similar improvements in cardiac ...
