Researchers have developed a new software tool that provides unprecedented capabilities to see inside 3D images. Its interactive, dynamic cutaway views allowed them to analyze never-before-seen ...

Heart development: Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research have discovered important mechanisms for regulating embryonic heart development. The proteins RBPMS and RBPMS2 ...

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...

Congenital heart defects are the most common form of human birth defect, but we still don’t fully understand what causes them. Previous research had suggested that some heart defects could be ...

A new open-source software tool helps see the inside of 3D and 4D images, providing insight into embryonic mouse heart development. 3D and 4D imaging, which is 3D imaging combined with time to show ...

University of Bern researchers discovered that gene deserts, non-coding DNA regions, regulate heart and embryo development through enhancer elements controlling key genes. This insight into gene ...

Congenital heart defects are the most common form of human birth defect, but we still don't fully understand what causes them. Previous research had suggested that some heart defects could be ...

SLC25A1 is critical for placental development and indirectly affects heart health Deleting SLC25A1 in placental tissue causes both placental and heart defects PSG1 supplementation may become a ...

A project at Stevens Institute of Technology has developed a software tool able to reveal previously unseen time-dependent details of tissues imaged with OCT. Reported in Biomedical Optics Express, ...
