An increasing number of reports suggest that cardiac arrhythmias are frequent clinical features of COVID-19. A New York-based team of researchers explored the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the ...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus can infect specialized pacemaker cells that maintain the heart's rhythmic beat, setting off a self-destruction process within the cells, according to a preclinical study. The ...

WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - Researchers have succeeded in turning ordinary cardiac muscle cells into specialized ones that deliver a steady heartbeat using a gene therapy procedure they predict ...

Using human embryonic stem cells to create a type of cardiac cells known as sinotrial (SA) node pacemaker cells, a team of scientists from Israel and Canada have developed a biological pacemaker that ...

Analysis of an invasive brain cancer reveals that networks of tumour cells are linked to small groups of ‘pacemaker’ cells in which levels of calcium ions pulse periodically, driving a signal through ...

Electrical pacemakers have become a backbone in therapeutic intervention for slow heart rhythms resulting from conduction system disease. Although decades of innovations have greatly improved the ...

Researchers have identified how biological pacemaker cells can 'fight back' against therapies to biologically correct abnormal heartbeat rates. The research also uncovered a new way to boost the ...

The heart's regular rhythm is crucial to the delivery of oxygenated blood and nutrients to all the organs of the body. It is regulated by a bundle of cells called "the pacemaker," which use electrical ...

GUADALAJARA, Mexico — "Somatic reprogramming is a strategy in which we are not modifying a single part of the cell, but we are reprogramming a normal cell to transform it into a pacemaker cell," said ...
