A new study suggests the vagus nerve may be one of the heart’s most important defenders against aging. Researchers found that ...

Monozygotic twinning itself after elective single embryo transfer is uncommon, occurring in no more than roughly 3% of cases. Conjoined twins are far rarer still, with fewer than 20 cases reported ...

Researchers suggest that MultiCell could potentially be used to discern early patterns of disease, such as in asthma.

Using a combination for spatial, single-cell transcriptomics and imaging data from 36 hearts, scientists from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and their collaborators have come up with what they ...

Every human life begins as a cluster of cells that soon face critical decisions. Within weeks, those cells must choose their fates – some forming the nervous system, others the gut, heart, or muscle.

This study provides valuable insights into human valve development by integrating snRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics to characterize cell populations and regulatory programs in the embryonic and ...

The heart is well-placed in the upper torso to serve the major organs, which are arranged like satellites around it. It isn’t displaced as far to the left as some people might imagine. However, it is ...

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 ...
