New Gene Therapy Reverses Heart Failure in Large Animal Model
The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves survival, in what a paper describing the results calls “an unprecedented recovery of cardiac function.”
Gene Therapy Reverses Heart Failure in Pig Trials
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 didn’t just prevent heart failure from worsening in four lab pigs, but actually prompted hearts to repair and grow stronger.
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,
