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 ...

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 ...

Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai have identified how biological pacemaker cells - cells that control your heartbeat - can "fight back" against therapies to biologically ...

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 ...
