Only cardiac muscle tissue, comprising cells called myocytes, is present in the heart. In this article, we discuss the structure and function of cardiac muscle tissue. We also cover medical ...

Researchers found that newborn immune cells regenerate heart tissue by producing thromboxane. Mimicking this process in ...

“This is a different approach to repairing damaged cardiac tissue,” said Scot Matkovich, a molecular biologist at Washington University in St. Louis who was not involved in the research. In contrast ...

Cellular cardiomyoplasty (myogenic cell grafting) is actively being explored as a novel method to regenerate damaged myocardium. The adult human heart contains small populations of indigenous ...
