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 ...

Current models of mortality risk after heart failure (HF) rely primarily on cardiac-specific clinical variables and may underestimate risk in elderly East Asian patients. Researchers from Japan used ...

Animate Biosciences Reports Preclinical Data Showing Reduced Cardiac Scarring and Nearly Doubled Heart Function After Heart Attack.

Animate Biosciences Inc.’s lead therapeutic peptide MBb32 produced a significant reduction in cardiac scar tissue and ...

A team led by researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill have developed an innovative computer model of blood flow in the human heart that promises to transform how we understand, diagnose, and treat heart ...

In a study published in npj Digital Medicine, a team of researchers led by the University of Michigan developed a machine learning model that identified 17 environmental and social factors that can ...

Scientists have created a three-dimensional "heart-on-a-chip" (HOC) model that beats on its own, uses calcium to initiate ...

UCLA scientists have identified a protein called glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) as a critical regulator in the heart’s healing process after a heart attack (myocardial ...
