Understanding heart function and disease, as well as testing new drugs for heart conditions, has long been a complex and time-consuming task. A promising way to study disease and test new drugs is to ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. Cardiac cell death and myocardial fibrosis after ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury are the primary causes of impaired cardiac function ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

Your heart will not just give you fear and uncertainty after a heart attack; it can leave scar tissue that stiffens your heart and limits your strength. Many people learn to live with that loss, but ...

As of right now, heart failure is irreversible. The chronic condition, in which the heart doesn’t pump blood as well as it should, can be treated with medication and lifestyle changes that slow its ...

Indeed, the gene therapy seemed to improve heart function on the microscopic level, with better-organized heart cells and proteins. The researchers hope that cBIN1's role as a master regulator of ...
