Failing hearts nearly returned to full function in laboratory pigs after they received an experimental gene therapy. New research shows the gene therapy didn't just prevent heart failure from ...

Previous attempted therapies for heart failure have shown improvements to heart function on the order of 5-10%. cBIN1 gene therapy improved function by 30%. "It's night and day," Shaw adds.

Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but the outcome of a new study suggests that could someday change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that was shown to ...

In an effort to increase protein levels in heart failure, the researchers turned to a harmless virus commonly used in gene therapy to deliver an extra copy of the cBIN1 to heart cells. The virus ...

A new gene therapy 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 ...

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 ...

TUESDAY, Dec. 10, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Failing hearts nearly returned to full function in laboratory pigs after they received an experimental gene therapy. New research shows the gene therapy ...
