Pulmonary veins (PV) are involved in the pathophysiology of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In the rat, left atrium (LA) and PV cardiomyocytes have different reactions to α1-adrenergic receptor ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide with current estimation of 17.3 million deaths per year and with an expected increase up to 23.6 million deaths by the year ...

Physicists in Switzerland are the first to use ultracold atoms to simulate one of the most technologically important properties of solid matter: electrical conduction. The experiment involves watching ...

During a severe heart attack many heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue to stabilize the heart wall. Connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts (FB), are the dominant cell type in ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have observed novel helical magnetic ordering in the topological compound EuIn 2 As 2 which supports exotic electrical conduction tunable ...

Researchers have developed an innovative methodology for measuring the electrical conductivity of microbial communities. This methodology holds promise for the development of batteries and ...

The project, Electronic AXONs: wireless microstimulators based on electronic rectification of epidermically applied currents (eAXON, 2017-2022), funded by a European Research Council (ERC) ...

New research explains how low levels of the electrolyte sodium in the blood can disrupt the timing of the heartbeat in patients taking widely used rhythm-control medications such as flecainide, which ...

Physicists in Japan have gained important new insights into how DNA might behave as an electrical conductor. Their discovery could help provide a better understanding of the role that conduction plays ...

The fastest electrical signals in the human body can travel at up to 120 meters per second, roughly 268 miles per hour, along ...
