Researchers from Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) and the Leiden-based biotech company Ncardia have joined forces to develop a new platform ...

Cardiac complications in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are the result of cardiac muscle involvement that accompanies the deterioration of skeletal muscle in the disease. The use of ...

Hierarchical structure of muscle and activation of thin filaments. In both skeletal and cardiac muscles under a relaxed state, a low intracellular calcium ion concentration is maintained and the ...

What makes a body’s organs into what they are is more than just a grouping of specialized cells. They also need to be oriented and attached to each other and scaffolding in order to create structures ...

Lower skeletal muscle mass was associated with an increased risk for short- and long-term mortality in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA). This association was particularly strong with ...

Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia is an irregular heartbeat where the bottom chambers of your heart beat quicker than usual. It can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, or fatigue.

Study shows that cardiac spheroids, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, can be easily transported and injected into damaged areas of the heart to promote its regeneration and recovery ...

Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...
