A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being ...

A woman with heart failure was kept alive long enough to receive a heart transplant, in part thanks to newly developed ...

In "remarkable" work, a patch of engineered heart muscle cells was used to strengthen a patient's heart before transplant.

Grafting patches of lab-grown muscle to the surface of the heart could offer a lifeline for people waiting for a transplant.

Sheets of lab-grown muscle are being tested as a radical new treatment for heart attacks and heart failure. Promising results ...

Previous attempts to use cell therapies have failed - but early results using a new type of muscle patch look promising ...

Innovative muscle patches derived from stem cells demonstrate efficacy in heart repair, improving function in primates and a ...

Salk scientists identify protein BCL6 as a key regulator of muscle maintenance in mice; BCL6-enhancing therapies may prevent ...
