A study published today in the journal Developmental Cell uncovers new insights into how the heart forms during the earliest stages of embryonic development. The research, led by scientists at the ...

Writing in Science Advances researchers of the University of Cologne describe a key mechanism that controls the decision-making process that allows human embryonic stem cells to make the heart. These ...

Congenital heart disease affects approximately two in every 100 newborns globally. But why do they occur?An important part of the answer may lie in a ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have uncovered a regulatory mechanism for signaling of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), a pathway essential for embryonic development. The findings, published in ...

The findings shed light on the origins of congenital heart defects and could open new avenues in regenerative medicine and tissue bioengineering. A study published today in the journal Developmental ...

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 ...
