Direct cardiac reprogramming, a process that bypasses the intermediate stem cell stage, allows fibroblasts to be converted into iCMs. While this approach holds significant promise, scientists have ...

Cardiac muscle is highly organized and contains many types of cells, including fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and cardiomyocytes. Cardiac muscle only develops in the heart. It contains cardiac ...

Ncardia, a leading human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology company, today announced the launch of Ncyte® Heart in a Box, a breakthrough 3D cardiac microtissue model designed to drive ...

In addition, we study the paracrine signaling interactions between cardiac fibroblasts and myocytes, and their role in profibrotic signaling. New therapies in development include small molecule ...

New possibilities for cellular imaging In trials, POSTECH applied its system to photoacoustic images of human cardiac fibroblasts, and compared the results to corresponding CFM images. The results ...
