Disrupted metabolism linked to heart failure

When heart cells burn fat without normal metabolic controls, they can deplete a lipid needed to keep mitochondria functioning properly, according to a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers. The findings, published ...

Molecular mechanics behind heart cell restructuring revealed

Microtubules, part of heart muscle cells' internal "skeleton," help determine how the heart changes shape under stress, and a common signaling pathway called the ERK pathway acts as a key controller of where the building ...

Unraveling the mystery of misfolded proteins in the heart

Researchers in the del Monte Lab at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) are the first to observe defects in the protein repair system associated with the peculiar, misfolded protein plaques previously observed ...

Heart elasticity may hinge on a hidden genetic switch

The human heart must constantly adapt to changing demands—a task that requires tightly coordinated molecular shuffling in heart cells. One of the key regulators of this process is RBM20, a protein that controls an editing ...

AI model reads cardiac MRI scans with near expert accuracy

A Penn Medicine–led team has developed a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence system that interprets cardiac MRI scans with performance approaching expert clinicians. Trained on more than 300,000 MRI video clips from ...

Diagnosis of cardiomyopathy is on the rise in Sweden

The number of patients diagnosed with cardiomyopathy has increased substantially over the past two decades. This is the finding of a new study from Uppsala University that mapped all cases of cardiomyopathy in Sweden. Despite ...
