UF scientists test improved gene therapy method for hereditary heart conditions

...hy and an enlargement of the heart muscle known as dilated cardiomyopathy. But efforts to begin testing it in people have been slowed by the need to find ways to deliver corrective genes easily and efficiently, so they go where they are needed. A number of conditions, for example, affect both heart and ske...

Healing the heart with bone marrow cells

...ed and, 42 days after a heart attack, their hearts dilated to twice the size of the normal mouse heart. However, the heart function of the c-kit defective mice could be restored to normal by restoring the c-kit cells in their bone marrow, confirming the importance of these cells in repairing the heart. This ...

Protein overexpression at heart of heart failure

Chronic heart failure resulting from dilated cardiomyopathy is rapidly emerging as a disease of epidemic proportions.1 Molecular mechanisms are being studied and advances have been made in a minority of cases, e.g.: the familial forms. Intracellular [Ca2+]i homeostasis is essential for normal c...
