Shanghai researchers engineer biological pacemaker that could offer a new way to control abnormal heart rhythms Scientists in Shanghai have used stem cells to create the world's first laboratory-grown ...

A Denver man is thanking the doctors at Denver Health after years of care for a heart condition. Bennie Milliner didn't think he'd be here today. He flatlined following a stent replacement in his ...

If your heart beats too slowly or gets out of rhythm, a pacemaker can send an electrical pulse to that muscle and get it back on track. To do that, pacemakers need generators with batteries, and ...

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device, published last week ...

Chicago — A new, tiny pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — developed at Northwestern University could play a sizable role in the future of medicine, according to the engineers who developed it.

The world’s tiniest pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — could help save babies born with heart defects, say scientists. The miniature device can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves after ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe—and be noninvasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of all ...

In a breakthrough, Shanghai scientists have cultivated the world's first lab-grown sinoatrial node using human stem cells.
