Your heart isn’t fully on the left — but it does lean that way. The reason lies in early embryonic development, when microscopic cellular movements determine your entire internal layout.

In humans, a specialized mRNA translation circuit predetermines the competence for heart formation at an early stage of embryonic development, a research team at the Center for Molecular Medicine ...

Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine, UNC McAllister Heart Institute, and the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center characterized the expression of thousands of cardiac proteins during eight ...

Scientists at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have developed a multi-chamber organoid that mirrors the heart’s intricate structure. The human ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists -- so far. A new multi-chamber ...

A project at Stevens Institute of Technology has developed a software tool able to reveal previously unseen time-dependent details of tissues imaged with OCT. Reported in Biomedical Optics Express, ...
