An engineering team has developed a process that combines biomaterials-based cell patterning and stem cell technology to make a 3-D tissue model that could mimic early stage human heart development.

A comprehensive review offers a 'state of the science' look at the impact of maternal diabetes, and potential gene-environmental influences in that context, on fetal heart development. Congenital ...

The children of mothers born with heart defects face a higher risk of being developmentally vulnerable, meaning they face ...
