The tissues generated on the Biowire II platform are made possible thanks to the unique properties of iCell ® Cardiomyocytes 2, a second generation type of lab-grown heart muscle cell derived ...

Only cardiac muscle tissue, comprising cells called myocytes, is present in the heart. In this article, we discuss the structure and function of cardiac muscle tissue. We also cover medical ...

muscle cells, and touch receptor cells — all of them use ion channel receptors to convert chemical or mechanical messages into electrical signals. Like all cells, an excitable cell maintains a ...

A team of researchers led by Emory’s Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow -and survive in the microgravity environment of space. Her findings, published in Biomaterials ...

These electrodes, each up to 200 times smaller than a single heart muscle cell, are made of silica coated with platinum. Heart muscle cells, derived from stem cells, were grown and then placed on ...

A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego and Stanford University has developed a noninvasive method to monitor the electrical activity inside heart muscle cells from the ...

Researchers in the US have developed a non-invasive method to monitor the electrical activity inside heart muscle cells from the outside. Electrical signals inside heart muscle cells provide insights ...
