Human heart organoids model atrial fibrillation
Scientists made small, beating human heart‑like organoids from donated stem cells and added immune cells. When they caused inflammation the organoids showed irregular heartbeats like atrial fibrillation; an anti‑inflammatory drug partly restored rhythm.

Cell transplant may help heart after spinal cord injury
Researchers tested transplanting immature nerve cells into spinal cord injuries in rats. The transplants improved nerve control of circulation — stabilizing resting blood pressure and lowering heart rate — but hormonal responses after injury still rose.

Untreated Sleep Apnea Speeds Heart Aging and Raises Death Risk
A laboratory study using a long-term mouse model finds that untreated obstructive sleep apnea — recreated by repeated drops in oxygen during sleep — leads to faster cardiovascular aging and higher mortality. Researchers call for early screening and treatment.

Biodegradable patch may help heart heal after heart attack
Researchers report a biodegradable microneedle patch that delivers interleukin-4 to injured heart tissue. The local treatment encourages healing immune cells, reduces scarring, and may improve heart recovery while avoiding systemic side effects.
