A muscle patch crafted from stem cells has improved cardiac function in monkeys with heart disease. It is now being tested in a small number of people, with early results from the first recipient ...

New research suggests that fish oil supplements may accelerate muscle healing in aging rats and muscle cells, potentially offering a solution for quicker recovery from age-related muscle injuries in ...

Interactions between Purkinje fibers and ventricular muscle were studied in canine Purkinje-papillary muscle preparations. The change in duration of action potentials across the junctions between ...

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells can differentiate in vitro, forming embryoid bodies (EBs) composed of derivatives of all three embryonic germ layers. Spontaneously contracting outgrowths from these ...
