CardioNVT is an end-to-end deep learning platform for rapid, immunostaining-free assessment of cardiomyocyte nuclear ploidy in situ. Using only DAPI-stained heart sections, it segments cardiomyocyte nuclei, tracks them across z-stack planes, reconstructs 3D nuclear volumes, and infers ploidy from volume measurements, enabling scalable studies of cardiac development, remodeling, and repair.
A new study challenges a long-standing assumption in heart care: that being female automatically increases stroke risk for patients with atrial fibrillation, a common condition that causes the heart to beat irregularly.
Under its CRANE programme, the National Heart Centre Singapore expands diagnostic capabilities to identify "hidden" heart conditions that disproportionately affect older adults, women and people with diabetes.
New functional angiography and advanced cardiac imaging address conditions that affect more than 1 in 5 angina patients yet often go undiagnosed.
The interuniversity project Roots of Resilience: Rural Knowledge for a Sustainable Future (RESINA) has been launched with the aim of identifying, validating and transferring sustainable ways of living that emerge from the heart of rural Spain. Researchers from three universities (Universitat Jaume I of Castelló, the Public University of Navarre and the University of Cádiz) are leading an initiative that seeks to transform the prevailing narrative about rural areas, highlighting their value as key spaces for social innovation and collective resilience in the face of the major challenges of the 21st century: the ecological emergency, depopulation and social fragmentation.
Funded by the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and the 2030 Agenda, the project will focus on documenting practices based on neighbourly cooperation, agroecology, the social economy, mutual care and communal resource management that have enabled rural communities to sustain themselves under adverse conditions.
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation® (CRF®) announced the highly anticipated lineup of late-breaking research to be presented at New York Valves: The Structural Heart SummitTM. The premier educational meeting for the structural heart community will take place June 24-26, 2026, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, North in New York, NY.
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has awarded a five-year, $3.3 million grant to a University of Cincinnati College of Medicine researcher to study the potential cardiovascular toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics.
