Heart muscle cells grown from human induced pluripotent stem cells (in green) have successfully integrated into rhesus macaque heart muscle in this microscope image of heart tissue from a new study by ...

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 ...

In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. You probably know someone who is affected by cancer. This disease results when cells divide uncontrollably and can make a person ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the seventeenth century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich have developed a new microscope that significantly improves how bioluminescent signals in living cells can be observed. The ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of the most detailed views of life ever recorded. Day and night, they collect ...
