New research in Sweden has produced a "blueprint" revealing how the human heart is built during prenatal development.

Study led by experts at Cincinnati Children's sheds light at the cellular level on how heart valve tissues form. Findings eventually may improve survival odds for newborns with heart valve defects.

One of several findings was the discovery of a group of cells, likely unique to humans, that may help the heart respond to low oxygen levels.

Researchers have developed a promising synthetic heart valve that may eventually be used for growing children. Harvard’s Wass Institute and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences ...

CHICAGO (Reuters Health) - Stem cells extracted from amniotic fluid can be induced to grow on a polymer scaffold into a fully functional human heart valve that will open and close like a native valve, ...
