Weill Cornell Research Reveals Secrets Of Trafficking Within Cells

..., including those closely tied to brain disorders, cardiac illness, and other major conditions. He pointed out that clathrin is also important to cellular mechanisms other than endocytosis, including those occurring deep inside the cell. "Now that we have a better handle on this relationship, we're going t...

Implanted Devices Detect High-Risk Heart Failure Patients

Implanted devices intended to optimize the cardiac function of patients with heart failure have provided new insights into which patients might be at higher risk of dying suddenly from their disease, according to researchers at Duke University Medical Center. Besides maintaining optimal electrical s...

Rush Physicians Using Gene Therapy For Heart Patients With Moderate To Severe Chest Pains Who Do Not Benefit From Other Treatments

...weeks following the procedure which is done in the cardiac catheterization lab at Rush," said Dr. Gary L. Sch...ssigned to receive the gene administered through a cardiac catheter threaded into the heart from a leg artery or a placebo delivered using the same method. As ...

Special Imaging Study Shows Failing Hearts Are 'Energy Starved'

... performed MRS on 14 healthy volunteers to measure cardiac CK flux at rest and with pharmaceutically induced stress to determine whether increased energy demand during stress increases the rate of ATP synthesis through CK. Then, 17 patients with histories of heart failure were similarly tested to measure t...
