Maintaining a stable heartbeat is critical for survival. Your heart must constantly adapt its output to meet changing demands ...

Developing new drugs is one of the riskiest and most expensive endeavors in science. Today, The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

"Understanding this system better could lead to new insights into heart diseases and help develop new treatments for diseases such as arrhythmias." The study was conducted on zebrafish, an animal ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain - its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat. A better understanding of this system, which ...

Lower cardiac output has been tied to poorer cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the temporal lobes of older adults without heart failure, a finding that adds to a growing body of research linking heart ...

Scientists have now created an encyclopedia of gene function for all known human genes that code for protein. This data uses the most current and reliable data, and it has also been released on a ...
