Muscle atrophy through thick but not thin
During desperate times, such as fasting, or muscle wasting that afflicts cancer or AIDS patients, the body cannibalizes itself, atrophying and breaking down skeletal muscle proteins to liberate amino acids. view more (2009-06-08)
Cell 'anchors' required to prevent muscular dystrophy
A protein that was first identified for playing a key role in regulating normal heart rhythms also appears to be significant in helping muscle cells survive the forces of muscle contraction. The clue was a laboratory mouse that seemed to have a form of muscular dystrophy. view more (2009-01-14)
Stem cell study seeks to prevent heart failure
University of Rochester Medical Center researchers today announced the launch of a study that will examine whether transplanted stem cells can be safely used to treat damaged heart muscle in patients just after their first heart attack. view more (2006-01-25)
Jefferson scientists use gene therapy to reverse heart failure in animals
Heart researchers at the Center for Translational Medicine at Jefferson Medical College have used gene therapy to reverse heart failure in animals. view more (2007-05-24)
Certain anticancer agents could be harmful to patients with heart disease
A set of promising new anticancer agents could have unforeseen risks in individuals with heart disease, suggests research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-06-24)
Ten genes identified in connection with sudden cardiac death
You're sitting at your desk and suddenly your heart is beating in overdrive or worse, lurching along like a car on fumes. It is a shocking, uncomfortable and frightening sensation. view more (2009-03-23)
Adult Bone Marrow Stem Cells Injected into Skeletal Muscle Can Repair Heart Tissue
University at Buffalo researchers have demonstrated for the first time that injecting adult bone marrow stem cells into skeletal muscle can repair cardiac tissue, reversing heart failure. view more (2009-05-29)
New mathematical model more accurately diagnoses acute heart failure in emergency rooms
Researchers at St. Michael's Hospital have developed the first mathematical model in cardiology and emergency medicine to more quickly and reliably diagnose acute heart failure (AHF) in emergency room patients. view more (2009-10-16)
SLU researchers show how to stop muscle weakness caused by myasthenia gravis
Severe muscle weakness caused by myasthenia gravis - a highly debilitating autoimmune disorder - can be prevented or reversed by blocking a key step in the immune response that brings on the disease, researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine have found. view more (2007-12-21)
CELL TRANSPLANTATION COULD RESTORE CARDIAC FUNCTION AFTER HEART ATTACK (p 491)
Issue 8 February 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 7 February 2003 French authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe the preliminary success of transplanting muscle stem-cells from the thigh to the heart to restore damaged cardiac tissue after heart attack. The procedure was done in a 72-year-old man and resulted... view more... (2003-02-05)
Lean muscle mass helps even obese patients battle cancer
Lean muscle-mass may give even obese people an advantage in battling cancer, a University of Alberta study shows. view more (2008-12-18)
Cardiac cell transplant studies show promise in cardiac tissue repair
Two studies published in the current issue of CELL TRANSPLANTATION (17:6) examine the efficacy of transplanting bone marrow cells (BMCs) for the repair of heart tissue. view more (2008-09-04)
Researchers identify major source of muscle repair cells
In a surprising discovery with implications for treating muscular dystrophy, researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine and other institutions have identified a major source of origin for two groups of adult cells that regulate muscle repair. view more (2006-01-30)
Novel candidate biomarker for heart failure also strongly predicts risk of death
A potential new biomarker for heart failure may be more powerful than established measures in identifying patients at increased risk for death from several causes. view more (2007-08-07)
Obese children show early signs of heart disease
Children who are obese or who are at risk for obesity show early signs of heart disease similar to obese adults with heart disease, a study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found. view more (2007-10-18)
Researchers safely regenerate failing mouse hearts with programmed embryonic stem cells
Mayo Clinic researchers have safely transplanted cardiac preprogrammed embryonic stem cells into diseased hearts of mice successfully regenerating infarcted heart muscle without precipitating the growth of a cancerous tumor — which, so far, has impeded successful translation into practice of embryonic stem cell research. view more (2007-02-28)
Bone marrow cells can heal nerves in diabetes model
Transplanting cells that replenish blood vessels can also restore nerve function in an animal model of diabetic neuropathy, Emory researchers have found. view more (2009-02-05)
Viagra relatives may shrink abnormally large hearts
Compounds related to Viagra, which is already in clinical trials to prevent heart failure, may also counter the disease in a different way, according to a study published online today in the journal Circulation Research. view more (2009-09-25)
Keeping in good shape in old age is harder for women, study finds
Women aged 65-plus find it harder than men of the same age to preserve muscle - which probably impacts on their ability to stay as strong and fit, according to new research. view more (2008-03-26)
Pacemaker tune-up works chemical wonders on damaged hearts in dogs
Using pacemakers to electrically retune a heart damaged by long bouts of a wobbling heartbeat, where one heart muscle wall is beating sooner than the other, leads to fast improvements in the tissue levels of more than a dozen proteins key to the organ's health, scientists at Johns Hopkins report in experiments in dogs. view more (2008-03-06)
