Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...

Catherine O'Hara's heart and organs were a mirror image of most people's. Though that is rare, congenital heart defects are fairly common.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common birth defects, but the full extent of its genetic underpinnings has been a mystery. Now, a new study of more than 11,000 children with CHD ...

Human heart development is largely influenced by neural crest cells, which carefully regulate a key growth signal.

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to ...
