Notch is required in cardiac neural crest cells for the specification of smooth muscle cell fate and for the proper morphogenesis of the cardiac outflow tract. Hrt genes are the best studied Notch ...

and is a cardiac muscle grown in a laboratory from cardiac cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells embedded in a collagen hydrogel. The simulation of this treatment in monkeys was the ...

There are different types of muscle cell, each perfectly adapted to its function: Cardiac (heart) muscle cells contract and relax to pump blood around our bodies for our entire lives. They never ...

But bones are unable to move on their own, so muscles pull on them at joints. Cardiac muscle cells contract and relax to pump blood around our bodies. Smooth muscle cells make up thin sheets of ...

In both affected siblings, an accumulation of amorphous material immunoreactive for desmin, dystrophin and vimentin was observed in the cytoplasm of the skeletal muscle cells. An uncle and the ...

a potential therapeutic for the prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. This has been demonstrated in various animal models, but also in human heart muscle cells derived from stem cells and a ...

This new study is the first to identify specific "sweet taste" receptors, known as TAS1R2 and TAS1R3, on the surface of heart muscle cells. The work will be presented at the 69th Biophysical ...
