A team of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Duke University has created a new kind of tissue that can change heart activity using only light—no wires, no surgery, no harm. This groundbreaking ...

Integrating sonogenetics with ultrasound technology, non-invasive pacemaker is designed to manage cardiac rhythm disorders ...

Our hearts beat around 100,000 times a day—and do so throughout our entire lives. They draw the energy for this from the mitochondria. As the "powerhouses of the cells," mitochondria produce 95% of ...

Ultrasound—the technology used for sonograms and examining the heart—can increase the rate at which heart cells beat, researchers from Drexel University report. In their paper "Ultrasound-Induced ...

The heart’s constant beating may actively suppress tumor growth in cardiac tissues, a new study reports. This is because cellular pathways in these tissues alter gene regulation in cancer cells to ...
