A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being ...

This is especially problematic in cases of blocked blood vessels, which can repeatedly starve large areas of the heart of oxygen and nutrients, killing the cardiomyocytes there. This leads to a ...

A revolutionary clinical trial has shown stem cell-derived muscle patches can be used to treat heart failure. The procedure ...

In "remarkable" work, a patch of engineered heart muscle cells was used to strengthen a patient's heart before transplant.

Grafting patches of lab-grown muscle to the surface of the heart could offer a lifeline for people waiting for a transplant.

A team of researchers led by Emory's Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow and survive in the ...

Damaged hearts could be mended using small "patches" of heart muscle grown in the lab, say scientists writing in Nature. The ...
