Single Injection May Help the Heart Heal After Heart Attack

Single injection may help the heart heal after heart attack

For people who have survived a heart attack, the notion of one shot in the arm to help the heart heal, for weeks after, may seem far‑fetched. But thanks to a team of researchers, including a Texas A&M University professor, that's exactly what could happen.

Single saRNA shot helps with healing after a heart attack

For people who have survived a heart attack, the notion of one shot in the arm to help the heart heal, for weeks after, may seem far-fetched. But thanks to a team of researchers, including a Texas A&M University professor, that's exactly what could happen. This simple injection may one day help people recover more safely and fully after a heart attack.

Single Injection Supports Healing for Weeks After Heart Attack

A team of researchers led by scientists at Columbia University has developed a potential treatment designed to help the heart recover after a heart attack by prompting the body to produce a protective hormone. The therapy, described in research published in Science, is delivered by a single skeletal muscle injection containing self-amplifying RNA packaged in lipid nanoparticles, which encodes the gene for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a horm…

Breakthrough Single-Dose Treatment Accelerates Healing After Heart Attack

In a groundbreaking development that could transform the landscape of cardiac care, researchers have pioneered a single-shot injection capable of significantly aiding heart repair following a myocardial infarction. This innovation, involving a Texas A&M University collaborator, leverages advanced molecular biology techniques to harness the body’s intrinsic healing capacities. By delivering instructions to skeletal muscle cells to transiently pro…
