In this remarkable video from researchers at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) in Australia, beating heart cells that have been developed from stem cells are shown up close.

Scientists have officially grown a notochord—the tissues that act as the “GPS for the developing embryo” by guiding the ...

As in natural embryonic development, the artificial mini-heart consists of three cup-shaped ... to development in the embryo," says the stem cell biologist. "Our study now enables other ...

In a pioneering study at the University of Arizona, researchers discovered that some patients with artificial hearts show ...

Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...

In 2015, scientists used stem cells in a lab dish to ... have blood vessels and all the cell types that are usually found in the human heart. They even beat like the real thing.

The investigators found that patients with artificial hearts regenerated muscle cells at more than six times the rate of healthy hearts. "This is the strongest evidence we have, so far, that human ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

This study is the first to inject repeated doses of stem cells intravenously into patients who have heart failure due to a heart attack or coronary artery disease.

Renowned visionary English physician William Harvey wrote in 1651 about how our blood contains all the secrets of life. "And so I conclude that blood lives and is nourished of itself and in no way ...
