Fibroblasts are an essential component of the heart, as they play key roles in its structure, development and response to ...

In humans, a specialized mRNA translation circuit predetermines the competence for heart formation at an early stage of embryonic development, a research team at the Center for Molecular Medicine ...

The hypoxia response has been found to be vital for the proper formation of the heart ventricles during gestation, adding an additional stage to embryonic development. A new study from the Centro ...

Researchers have identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo. Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the ...

With embryolike constructs built entirely from stem cells, researchers can revolutionize our understanding of development. But how close to an embryo is too close? In April, researchers in China ...
