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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists are working on turning back the clock on human hearts, allowing patients to grow new heart muscle even after cardiac injury. As the Wall Street Journal reports, these treatments could ...

Heart failure remains the leading cause of mortality in the U.S. During a heart attack blood stops flowing into the heart. Without oxygen, part of the heart muscle dies. The heart muscle does not ...

And sure enough, their heart muscle cells began to divide and grow, which significantly improved the heart function of the animals. “There were no adverse effects, such as excessive growth or an ...

When we developed the ability to convert various cells into a stem cell, it held the promise of an entirely new type of therapy. Rather than getting the body to try to fix itself with its cells or ...
