Researchers from St. Louis-based Washington University School of Medicine found evidence that the COVID-19 virus is able to invade and replicate inside heart muscle cells, the university said March 1.

For heart and smooth muscles, however, in which the development of this structure has been found to be rather poor, there is still uncertainty as to whether the calcium comes from outside the muscle.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a previously unrecognized small protein in cells of the human heart that plays a key role in heart muscle contraction. The protein is ...
