Titel Breakthrough Research on Hereditary Heart Disease PLN: Hope for Treatment and Cure Mate van erkenning International Media naam/outlet World Today News Mediatype Web Land/Regio Netherlands Release datum 28/12/2023 Beschrijving Researchers have now shown that an important network in the heart muscle cell, which regulates the contraction and relaxation of heart muscle cells, becomes deformed by this incorrect PLN protein. The heart muscle cell therefore deteriorates and eventually dies, causing healthy heart tissue to diminish and scar tissue to form in the heart. This causes the heart to pump increasingly poorly.
The researchers have discovered that they can slow down the deterioration process in mice with this disease by having the heart muscle cell produce another protein called DWORF. This is the first step towards treating this disease. They published the results in the leading journal Circulation Research. In follow-up research, the researchers will study how they can stimulate this protein in patients, but also how they can suppress the wrong PLN protein.URL https://www.world-today-news.com/breakthrough-research-on-hereditary-heart-disease-pln-hope-for-treatment-and-cure/ Personen Nienke Stege Titel Eerste stap naar behandeling Nederlandse hartspierziekte Mate van erkenning National Media naam/outlet Hartstichting Mediatype Web Land/Regio Netherlands Release datum 21/12/2023 URL https://www.hartstichting.nl/nieuws/eerste-stap-naar-behandeling-nederlandse-hartspierziekte Personen Nienke Stege
