Large animal models are pivotal in the realm of preclinical cardiovascular research, offering critical insights that bridge ...

Heart cells grown in space showed stronger survival, better function, and boosted healing traits. Spaceflight changed key ...

Previous studies have shown that protein expression of DOCK7 is increased in skeletal muscle biopsies from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), leading researchers from the University of ...

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for one in five deaths. The inability of damaged heart muscle tissue to regenerate makes heart disease difficult to ...

In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just differ in their developmental ...

In a small lab on an upper floor of a building at the University at Albany, students are growing fully-formed human hearts. The hearts are miniscule — about half as large as the head of a needle. But ...

The preclinical evaluation of drug-induced cardiotoxicity is an important stage in the drug development process; however, ...

Nanoplastics in water hindered oxygen transport in zebrafish, underscoring their toxic impact on aquatic health.

A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, precise, and non-invasive multi-organ imaging in zebrafish. Integrating cutting ...

Zebrafish, with their transparent bodies, rapid development, and genetic similarities ... for high-resolution imaging of organs such as the heart, brain, and liver. The computer-vision-based ...
