Experimental mRNA therapy promotes repair after heart attack damage
Scientists have developed a treatment that 'reawakens' heart muscle cells so they start to divide and help repair damaged muscle.
AI Summary
Scientists created an experimental mRNA therapy that reactivates heart muscle cells, prompting them to divide and aid tissue repair. In mouse experiments, the treatment was administered after a heart attack and resulted in a stronger heartbeat. Compared with a mock‑treated control group, the therapy boosted the volume of blood pumped per beat by roughly 10 percent. The findings suggest the approach can enhance cardiac function following injury.
