Gene therapy, heart failure

Gene therapy reverses heart failure in new trials
In a new study, failing hearts nearly returned to full function in laboratory pigs after they received an experimental gene therapy.
New gene therapy found to reverse heart failure effects in large animals
Researchers found a genetic therapy that could be used to reverse heart failure. A recent study found that it worked on large animals.
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.”
Heart failure is reversed with new gene therapy in animal study: ‘Unprecedented recovery’
Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but a new study suggests that could change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that reversed heart failure in animals.
New gene therapy reverses heart failure effects in animals, human trials pending
A new study using gene therapy from the University of Utah reversed the impact of heart failure in pigs. Can it work on humans?
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,
