Live imaging techniques have given Spanish researchers deeper insight into the development of the embryonic heart in mice. Their live analysis reveals the coordination that occurs between cardiac ...

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 development: Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research have discovered important mechanisms for regulating embryonic heart development. The proteins RBPMS and RBPMS2 ...

Researchers have developed a new software tool that provides unprecedented capabilities to see inside 3D images. Its interactive, dynamic cutaway views allowed them to analyze never-before-seen ...

An advanced human heart organoid system can be used to model embryonic heart development under pregestational diabetes-like conditions, researchers report. The organoids recapitulate hallmarks of ...

Long before human bone marrow takes over the task of producing blood, discrete waves of blood cell production occur in the developing embryo. Miriana Dardano, a postdoctoral researcher in Zweigerdt’s ...

Congenital heart defects are the most common form of human birth defect, but we still don’t fully understand what causes them. Previous research had suggested that some heart defects could be ...

SLC25A1 is critical for placental development and indirectly affects heart health Deleting SLC25A1 in placental tissue causes both placental and heart defects PSG1 supplementation may become a ...

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, ...
