New research at Mount Sinai explains how influenza infections increase the risk of heart attack through a specific immune pathway. Researchers from Mount Sinai have uncovered a possible explanation ...

Researchers elucidated the connection between influenza infection and cardiac disease in mammals by studying human and mouse hearts.

A protein-level tension sensor reveals how cell shape and sarcomere maturity determine where cardiomyocytes carry mechanical ...

Researchers reveal that cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle cells replace their existing stock of ribosomes with a different type which can make physical contact with mitochondria, the batteries of the ...

This diagram illustrates how the combination of fibroblast growth factor 4 and ascorbic acid activates the JAK2–STAT3 signaling pathway, promoting the maturation of induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs). This ...

James Marchant is a postdoctoral researcher in Alexandre Colas’s group at Sanford Burnham Prebys. In this Postdoc Portrait, he shares his work on developing a gene therapy for heart failure, why his ...

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) say that it is now possible for the first time to monitor the functional development and maturation of ...

Novel tissue-embedded nanosensor shows that co-culturing stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes with endothelial cells leads to more functionally mature cardiomyocytes. Heart muscle cells, called ...
