Diabetes doesn’t just coexist with heart disease - it actively reshapes the heart’s machinery and the way it makes energy.

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart "tissue-on-a-chip" specimens into space. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes in heart muscle ...

Researchers from Mass General Brigham and collaborating institutions have developed a non-invasive approach to manipulate cardiac tissue activity by using light to stimulate an innovative ink ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

Epicardial adipose tissue was associated with greater cardiac injury among patients who experienced an acute myocardial ...

Type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease—it physically reshapes the heart itself. Researchers studying ...

Diabetes is talked about in terms of blood sugar, diet, and insulin. But the real damage can go much deeper. New research ...

For all they do for us, our hearts aren't very good at repairing themselves. So when a person suffers a heart attack, their blood pump is left with a large amount of scar tissue, which can impede the ...

Diabetes has long been treated as a disease of blood sugar, but a growing body of research suggests it is also a disease of ...

When someone suffers a heart attack, their heart is left permanently scarred and thus less capable of pumping blood. According to a new study, however, a protein injection could help undo such damage.

The human heart has been found to show signs of aging after a mere month in space. Heart tissue samples aboard the International Space Station (ISS) were discovered to beat only around half as ...
