Mitochondrial transplantation improves rat recovery from cardiac arrest
When a heart stops beating, blood stops flowing and delivering oxygen to the brain (hypoxia) and other vital organs (ischemia). There is a small window (about 4 minutes) before the lack of blood flow begins to damage the ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is incurable but animal model study suggests an experimental drug may be effective
An experimental drug that is already in clinical trials for other diseases could disrupt a positive feedback loop that exacerbates pulmonary arterial hypertension, a dangerous and rapidly fatal condition for which there is ...

Babies born to mothers with preeclampsia found to be at increased risk of stroke and heart disease later in life
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Sweden, Finland and Denmark has found evidence that suggests babies born to mothers with preeclampsia have an increased risk of a stroke and/or heart disease later ...

Smart, dissolving pacemaker communicates with body-area sensor and control network
Last summer, Northwestern University researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker—a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it's no longer needed. Now, they unveil a new, ...

Tissue engineered vascular grafts transform into autologous neovessels with biomimetic function
Tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) can advance surgical management of infants and children who require congenital heart surgery, by creating functional vascular conduits with growth capacity. In a new report now published ...

Scientists find additional molecular miscues in a genetic heart disorder that primarily afflicts young people
New research involving a devastating genetic heart condition suggests that mutations in adhesion proteins—molecules that should support the heart—apparently play a role in disrupting the integrity of the organ's outermost ...

Simultaneous acoustic energy transfer and communication in neuroscience and cardiovascular medicine
Implantable medical devices including cardiac pacemakers and brain pacemakers are increasingly prevalent, although replacing their batteries surgically is a drawback for long-term functionality and patient health. Current ...

Reprogramming heart muscle cells to repair damage from heart attacks
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Germany and one in Canada has found that it is possible to reprogram heart muscle to repair damaged tissue. In their paper published in the journal Science, the ...
