Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but the outcome of a new study suggests that could someday change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that was shown to ...

Cardiac bridging integrator 1 gene therapy rescues chronic non-ischemic heart failure in minipigs. npj Regenerative Medicine , 2024; 9 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41536-024-00380-0 Cite This Page : ...

Previous attempted therapies for heart failure have shown improvements to heart function on the order of 5-10%. cBIN1 gene therapy improved function by 30%. "It's night and day," Shaw adds.

New research shows the gene therapy didn't just prevent heart failure from worsening in four lab pigs, but actually prompted hearts to repair and grow stronger. Advertisement "Even though the ...

TUESDAY, Dec. 10, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Failing hearts nearly returned to full function in laboratory pigs after they received an experimental gene therapy. New research shows the gene therapy didn ...

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 ...

Previous attempted therapies for heart failure have shown improvements in heart function on the order of 5–10%. cBIN1 gene therapy improved function by 30%. “It’s night and day,” Shaw added.

Researchers have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from zebrafish. They discovered that the protein Hmga1 plays a key role in heart regeneration in zebrafish. In mice, this ...
