Euan Ashley's lab explores the intricate interactions of gene variants. Tiny "typos," or genetic mutations, can sneak into segments of DNA. Many of these are harmless, but some can cause health ...

Pre-clinical studies demonstrated that blocking glucagon activity can improve heart function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a type of heart disease that is notoriously ...

New research in Sweden has produced a "blueprint" revealing how the human heart is built during prenatal development. It offers insights that could lead to improved prenatal care and new treatments ...

Cardiac device therapy has significantly evolved since the introduction of the first implantable pacemaker and the subsequent ...

Researchers at the University of Houston have provided new insights into the basic process of heart development in utero, offering potential advancements in the treatment of heart disease. The study ...
