Intravenous therapy promotes survival of heart muscle cells after a heart attack

Intravenous therapy promotes survival of heart muscle cells after a heart attack

Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure.

This injected protein-like polymer helps tissues heal after a heart attack

Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to encourage tissue repair and promotes survival of heart muscle cells after a heart attack. Researchers tested the therapy in rats and showed that it is effective up to five weeks after injection.

New Therapy Could Help Heart Tissue Heal After Heart Attack

Although only tested in rats thus far, the polymer-based treatment could repair tissue that are impacted in a variety of diseases.

A Shot of Hope: New Miracle Polymer Heals Hearts After Attack

Scientists have developed a powerful new injectable treatment that, when administered after a heart attack, helps the heart heal and prevents long-term damage. By targeting a protein interaction that normally inhibits recovery, the therapy protects crucial cellular processes and promotes tissue repair. Early testing in rats shows dramatically improved cardiac function, setting the stage for [...]
