A recent study published in Engineering has shed new light on the role of the protein NSUN2 in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. The research, conducted by a team from Harbin ...

When the workload on the heart increases, the ventricular wall may thicken too, known as cardiac hypertrophy. This is an adaptive response that reduces pressure on the heart and maintains the activity ...

Panel A shows a cross-section of a normal heart (top) and an endomyocardial biopsy sample from a normal heart (bottom; with hematoxylin and eosin staining) that shows normal histologic characteristics ...

Heart disease is the top cause of death in the United States, resulting in one in three deaths in 2023. In addition to being such a vital organ, the adult heart, unlike other parts of the body, cannot ...

Data from a preclinical study assessing Mission Therapeutics Ltd.’s clinical-stage USP30 inhibitor MTX-652, for the prevention of transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced cardiac hypertrophy and ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) regulates protein folding and maintains proteostasis in cells- a process essential to maintaining cellular health. However, researchers at UAB have found that chronic ...

Hearts of young cyclists show greater exercise-related adaptation, including more left ventricular enlargement and changes on ...

A year-long experiment found that even low doses of aspartame—well below current safety limits—may disrupt brain energy use and heart function, prompting experts to call for a re-evaluation of its ...
