Researchers in Biochemistry Repair and regenerate heart muscle cells
Researchers from the University of Houston have reported a technology of its kind that can not only repair heart muscle cells but also regenerate them after a heart attack or myocardial ischemia as it is medically called.
The groundbreaking discovery, published in The Journal of Cardiovascular Ageing 0, has the potential to be a powerful strategy to treat heart disease in humans. This is according to Robert Schwartz. Hugh Roy and Lillie C. Cullen Professor of Biology and Biochemistry at UH College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
Researchers developed a new technique that uses synthetic messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) to deliver mutated transcript factors – proteins that control DNA conversion into RNA – to mouse heart.
