It took years for Emilio Alarcon and his University of Ottawa Heart Institute research team to fully believe what they were seeing that a gel they had developed containing human collagen was repairing damaged hearts in mice. They repeated their research study several times, coming up with randomized, blinded results, just to make sure the findings were correct. Continue reading →

Regenerative Medicine Market: Snapshot Regenerative medicine is a part of translational research in the fields of molecular biology and tissue engineering. This type of medicine involves replacing and regenerating human cells, organs, and tissues with the help of specific processes. Continue reading →

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tenaya Therapeutics, Inc., a company with a mission to discover, develop, and deliver curative therapies that target the underlying causes of heart disease, today announced the successful completion of a $92 million Series B financing Continue reading →

A group of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the Texas Heart Institute and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston reveals today in the journal Genes & Development new insights into the recently discovered healing capacity of the heart involving the Hippo cellular pathway. The group previously reported that inactivating the Hippo pathway in the adult murine heart promoted cardiac muscle regeneration after injury, opening the possibility of developing promising heart failure therapies. In this study, the researchers discovered that inactivating the Hippo pathway in cardiac fibroblasts, non-muscle heart cells intertwined with cardiac muscle cells, promoted cardiac fibrosis and adversely effected cardiac function Continue reading →

When Hossein Tavassoli first told his mother that he was researching heart disease, she responded with But, youre an engineer... She was right, of course Hosseins undergraduate degree was in material engineering but at the time, he found it difficult to explain the intersections between biology and engineering. Now, not only is he a nanoengineer working in a tissue regeneration lab, but he is also an avid science communicator Continue reading →
