We tend to think of a pacemaker as a man made device, a piece of metal surgically implanted in a damaged heart to help redirect the rhythm of the heartbeat. But the heart has its own “pacemaker” cells ...

"The pacemaker generated from embryonic stem cells exhibits the molecular, electrical and functional properties characteristic of human pacemaker cells," said Prof. Gepstein. "It is an effective and ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...
