Urolithin A, a compound the body can make after eating foods such as pomegranates, improved heart relaxation in preclinical ...

In the late 1960s, three Weizmann Institute of Science researchers developed several protein-like molecules, called copolymers, that they believed would produce a disease similar to multiple sclerosis ...

Transferring mitochondria from a patient's healthy skeletal muscle to damaged, ischemic heart tissue has been shown to restore heart muscle, increase energy production, and improve ventricular ...

Michael Gotthardt at the Max Delbrück Center and collaborators are developing a drug to treat a common type of heart failure characterized by impaired cardiac filling. In a recent study, his group and ...

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 septal myectomy is an open-heart operation that removes the portion of thickened heart muscle blocking blood flow. During the procedure, echocardiographic imaging helps surgeons identify where the ...

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 ...

In male rats, Vitamin D3 produced greater improvements in muscle mass, muscle fiber size and grip strength compared with ...

Working with heart muscle cells from diabetic rats, scientists at Johns Hopkins have located what they say is the epicenter of mischief wreaked by too much blood sugar and used a sugar-gobbling enzyme ...

A study of more than 11,000 UK adults found that brighter light during sleep was associated with changes in heart structure and function, though causality remains uncertain.

One of them is reduced mitochondrial function. In particular, the heart, brain and muscles are greatly affected by mitochondrial efficiency. Why is that. ◇Heart, brain and muscles, take preventive ...
