Objectives—Obesity and hyperlipidemia are critical risk factors for atherosclerosis. Because ablation of NG2 proteoglycan in mice leads to hyperlipidemia and obesity, we investigated the impact of NG2 ...

A new study shows that cells in atherosclerotic blood vessels grow in a way that resembles tumor development. This finding ...

Researchers have developed a novel approach to making lab-grown cartilage, using electrically-conductive graphene foam to apply direct electrical stimulation during progenitor cell growth. The method ...

Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire chatter all over the nervous system. Heart muscle cells do something ...
