In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or ...

The human heart, often described as the body's engine, is a remarkable organ that tirelessly beats to keep us alive. At the core of this vital organ, intricate processes occur when it contracts, where ...

Scientists have produced the first high-resolution 3D image of the sarcomere, the basic contractile unit of skeletal and heart muscle cells, using electron cryo-tomography (cryo-ET). The international ...

Myocardial fibrosis is a hallmark of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a proposed substrate for arrhythmias and heart failure. In animal models, profibrotic genetic pathways are activated early, before ...

MHH scientist investigates how pro-inflammatory cytokines interfere with muscle metabolism and actively transform muscles.

Tea will be served at 9:45 a.m., immediately preceding the seminar.

At the recent American College of Cardiology meeting, researchers from Edgewise Therapeutics Inc. reported on EDG-002, a novel oral, selective, sarcomere regulator designed to normalize excess cardiac ...

Atrial fibrillation, heart failure and stroke – hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can lead to many serious health conditions and is a major cause of sudden cardiac death in people younger than 35. „The ...
