Dr. Sharma described space as a yin-yang environment that both accelerates tissue aging and degradation and provides an ideal setting for growing more complex, three-dimensional heart tissues and ...

The heart's constant beating may actively suppress tumor growth in cardiac tissues, a new study reports. This is because cellular pathways in these tissues alter gene regulation in cancer cells to ...

The results of a study by researchers at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) suggest that the heart’s constant beating may actively suppress tumor growth in ...

A horticulturist reflects on the new Smithsonian-U.S. Botanic Gardens collaborative exhibition as it connects stories, scholarship, and art to this extraordinary species Justin Kondrat Featuring ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have developed a polymeric biohybrid cardiac device that harnesses the power of light to electrically and mechanically control living heart tissue ...

At first glance, it might not seem like people have much in common with deer. But a strange discovery about how their antlers regenerate is lifting the lid on the unseen ways that our bodies work, too ...

A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness. Researchers found that certain statins can latch onto a key muscle protein and ...

The incidence of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes varies according to age, race and ethnic group, sex, sport, and social determinants of health. The common causes of sudden cardiac arrest include ...

Before Adam Sharples became a molecular physiologist studying muscle memory, he played professional rugby. Over his years as an athlete, he noticed that he and his teammates seemed to return to form ...
