World Heart Day 2022: The Role Of Homocysteine In Determining The Risk Of A Heart Attack
World Heart Day 2022: Homocysteine is known to affect smooth muscle cells and the cardiovascular endothelium negatively, altering the underlying structure and function of the arteries.

Human Heart Has Potential to Self-Repair After Cardiac Attack Using Specific Cells, Confirms New Study
In a new research, it has been revealed that the body's immune response and the lymphatic system (a part of the immune system) are critical in the heart's ability to repair itself after an attack. These macrophages release a specific sort of protein called VEGFC as the first responders on the scene after a heart attack.

Coronavirus Impact On Heart: What Researchers Say
Heart damage in COVID-19 patients is caused by the novel coronavirus infecting cardiac muscle cells, leading to cell death which interferes with the muscle's contraction, according to a study that may lead to the development of new drugs to treat the viral infection.

New Sensor Can Monitor Heart Cells With Minimal Disruption
The base for the culture was a very soft material called fibrin gel. Lee placed the nanomesh sensor on top of the cell culture in a complex process, which involved removing and adding liquid medium at the proper times. This was important to correctly orient the nanomesh sensor.

Now An Artificial Heart Made Of Spider Silk
Researchers have developed cardiac muscle tissue made of spider silk, to investigate whether artificial silk protein could be suitable for engineering cardiac tissue. Ischaemic diseases such as cardiac infarction leads to irreversible loss of cardiac muscle cells, which is the main cause of reduced cardiac functionality that affects the working of ...

Synthetic Stem Cells Could Improve Therapy: Study
New York Researchers have developed a synthetic version of a cardiac stem cell that could offer therapeutic benefits comparable to those from natural stem cells and could reduce some of the risks associated with stem cell therapies. Stem cell therapies aid damaged tissue in repairing itself by secreting “paracrine factors,” including proteins a...

Watch: Inmates Break Out Of Jail To Save Guard's Life
A group of eight handcuffed inmates in the US state of Texas busted out of their cell and saved the life of a prison guard having a heart attack, a media report said today.

Trying Gene Therapy to Create Biological Pacemaker
No batteries required: Scientists are creating a biological pacemaker by injecting a gene into the hearts of sick pigs that changed ordinary cardiac cells into a special kind that induces a steady heartbeat.

Iron build-up in cell can cause disease
The build-up of iron in a cell centre may lead to debilitating diseases, which can cause brain and cardiac disorders.
