Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a previously unrecognized small protein in cells of the human heart that plays a key role in heart muscle contraction. The protein is made ...

Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...

As cardiovascular function ages, the heart becomes fibrotic, leading to reduced contraction, and vascular function declines, ...

Working with heart muscle cells from diabetic rats, scientists at Johns Hopkins have located what they say is the epicenter of mischief wreaked by too much blood sugar and used a sugar-gobbling enzyme ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have developed a polymeric biohybrid cardiac device that harnesses the ...
