Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...

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 ...

During heart development, cells move and interact to establish their positions—an essential process where the right pairings ...

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 ...

To date, no cardiovascular model has been able to shed light on how and why cardiac congenital disorders start in the human embryo. Researchers from the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) in ...

Background Although chest X-rays (CXRs) are widely used, diagnosing mitral stenosis (MS) based solely on CXR findings remains ...

Researchers have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of the body -- a new avenue for recreating the first stages ...

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 ...
