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 ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common chronic cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice, is very challenging to treat once it becomes persistent, after which spontaneous return to normal rhythm ...

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 ...
