Severe symptoms of COVID-19 are caused by brain infection in mice, finds study
Researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 persists in the brain after it is cleared in the lungs and concluded the severest and longest lasting symptoms of COVID-19 may be caused by brain infection.
news
Researchers develop potential drug to prevent heart attacks
A novel drug has been created which prevented the blood clotting associated with heart attacks and strokes in pre-clinical studies.
news
Novel antiplatelet drug is effective at treating heart attacks in mice, say researchers
The novel nanoparticle delivered Mp6 peptide was able to inhibit thrombosis and reduce inflammation without increasing the risk of bleeding in mice after heart attacks.
news
3D map of the heart’s intracardiac nervous system (ICN) revealed
The 3D map, created using Knife-Edge Scanning Microscopy and analysed using laser capture microdissection, reveals new insights about the nervous control of the heart.

How do stem cells repair damage caused by a heart attack?
Researchers exploring how stem cells can be used discovered that cardiopoietic stem cells could repair in tissue in mouse models of heart attacks.
news
Macrophages could be the target of novel heart attack therapies
Research determined macrophages’ role in forming a permanent cardiac scar after a heart attack, the researchers suggest altering this behaviour may make the scar temporary and allow restoration of heart function.
news
Protein therapy could be used to improve heart function after cardiac arrest
Researchers have shown that a protein therapy has been successful in pre-clinical models at improving the quality of scar tissue after heart attacks, leading to better overall heart function.
news
Heart attack model developed with human stem cells
A myocardial infarction model has been developed which will contribute to the development of preventive/therapeutic medicine.

New compound keeps cells alive and functioning in a healthy state
A world-first compound that can keep cells alive and functioning in a healthy state could be revolutionary for medical emergencies.
news
Potential treatment for heart attacks discovered by researchers
Researchers have uncovered a treatment that may be used to treat heart attacks or to prevent heart failure, using the circadian clock.
news
New target for regulating mitochondria during stress identified
A new target has been identified for the treatment of heart failure, heart attack, stroke and neurodegeneration.
news
Tissue-damaging protein channel identified
Researchers have discovered an acid-activated protein which could stop damage to tissues as a result of stroke and other health issues.
