Discovering the link between congenital heart disease and kidney problems could improve outcomes for patients with the ...

New testing in maternal hyperoxia — giving extra oxygen to pregnant people — shows that prenatal interventions might yield ...

Scientists said on Monday they had taken a first step towards being able to control stem cells -- master cells that have the ability to become any kind of cell in the body. Doctors hope one day these ...

Human heart cells have been coaxed into regenerating for the first time in a breakthrough that could mend failing organs.

The human heart has the ability to repair itself, scientists have found, in a breakthrough that could provide a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of patients.

One of several findings was the discovery of a group of cells, likely unique to humans, that may help the heart respond to low oxygen levels.

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 ...

The epicardium is hypoxic at later stages of heart development. Representative images of immunostaining for DAPI (cyan), HP1 (magenta) and EMCN, WT1, HIF-1α and HIF-2α (green) on serial cryosections ...

Every human life begins as a cluster of cells that soon face critical decisions. Within weeks, those cells must choose their fates – some forming the nervous system, others the gut, heart, or muscle.

GLOUCESTER POINT, Va. — The price of lobster rolls and whole Maine lobsters could climb even higher as warming oceans create an unexpected problem for America’s most valuable fishery. New research ...

Pregnant women rely on a balanced diet and supplements to deliver proper nutrients to their babies, to ensure they grow healthfully. Such nutrients contribute to fueling development and providing ...

This study provides valuable insights into human valve development by integrating snRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics to characterize cell populations and regulatory programs in the embryonic and ...
