Revolutionary Gene Therapy Helps Hearts Regenerate After Heart Attacks
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Myocardial infarction, commonly termed as a heart attack, is a major cause of death and poor health worldwide. Regenerating heart tissue is an exciting and promising concept that can have significant benefits in myocardial infarctions and related diseases, but this has not yet been achieved in real-life clinical treatments. In a collaboration between Goethe University Frankfurt and Goethe University Hospital, Professor Jaya Krishnan and colleagues address this by controlling pathologic genes involved in the development of heart failure that develops after heart attacks. The researchers demonstrate a new way of treating heart disease by aiding in the division and regrowth of heart cells after a heart attack.
