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. “Even though the animals are still facing stress on the heart to induce heart failure,
Cure for heart failure on horizon after scientists cure pigs with gene therapy
A cure for heart failure could be on the horizon after scientists inserted a gene into ailing pigs, allowing their hearts to pump blood at normal levels again. Researchers at the University of Utah want to begin human trials next year,
New gene therapy reverses heart failure in large animal model
In a single IV injection, a gene therapy targeting cBIN1 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 survival.
