New research suggests that regular aerobic exercise doesn’t just benefit the heart muscle, but subtly rewires the nerves that control how the heart works. Regular physical activity does more than ...

In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or ...

In the late 1960s, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, including Professors Michael Sela and Ruth Arnon and Dr. Dvora Teitelbaum, developed synthetic molecules called copolymers.

A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...

Over six weeks, the researchers administered twice-weekly injections of LXA 4 to diabetic mice with cardiovascular disease characterized by heart inflammation, scarring of the heart muscle, ...

Cancer patients often lose excessive amounts of weight. This affects up to 80% of patients and is mainly due to a decrease in ...

Popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are showing incredible short-term benefits – from boosted metabolic health to pain relief to addiction and cognitive health. These are really ...

A marathon pushes the human body close to its limits. Legs tire, lungs burn and the heart works hard for hours on end. For ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

People with hidden pockets of fat in their muscles – similar to so-called marbling in beef – are at a higher risk of dying from heart attacks or heart failure regardless of their body weight, ...

Stanford scientists have uncovered how mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can very rarely trigger heart inflammation in young men — and ...
