According to new research from the University of Missouri School of Medicine, there may be a way to stave off a type of heart failure by improving the elasticity of cardiac muscles.

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 ...

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 ...

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

Papillary muscle scarring (papSCAR) is prevalent in one-third of DCM patients and predicts cardiac death independently. The FIDDLE technique significantly improves papSCAR detection sensitivity ...

Duchenne: Dosed 33 participants in the Phase 1/2 INSPIRE DUCHENNE clinical trial as of January 9, 2026; SGT-003 continues to be generally well ...

—Starting cardiac medications, using the proper timing and dosing, to optimize the efficacy of therapies and improve patient outcomes, is key to cardiac care for patients with Duchenne muscular ...

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 ...
