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 ...

Heart attacks cause both long- and short-term problems. In the short-term, the death of cardiac muscle cells can cause a critical drop in the heart's ability to function. Over the long haul ...

Researchers have developed a novel method for simultaneously recording action potentials (APs)—temporary changes in ...

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 ...

Your pacemaker cells are connected to other cardiac muscle cells, allowing them to pass along signals. This results in a wave of contractions of your cardiac muscle, which creates your heartbeat.

Stem cell-derived heart muscle cells may fail to effectively replace damaged cardiac tissue because they ... isolated from mice are combined with individual, stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes ...

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.

Researchers at EPFL and the University of Bern have developed a groundbreaking method for studying the electrical signals of cardiac muscle cells. The technology has numerous potential ...
