Preventing Myocardial Loss and Sudden Death in Patients with Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy via Rescuing of AIF/thioredoxin-2 Signaling

Unmet NeedAbout 400,000 to 460,000 people die each year from sudden cardiac death (SCD). Patients with Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM) are at increased risk for heart failure and SCD triggered by exercise. Common ACM driver mutations occur in about 1 out of every 10,000 people. However, the physiological mechanisms that drive myocardial loss and...

Generation of heart field-specific progenitor cells from pluripotent stem cells

Unmet Need:Heart disease, the number one killer, frequently occurs in a chamber-restricted fashion. While patient-derived pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer unprecedented opportunities to treat and repair damaged hearts, iPSC-derived heart cells are highly heterogeneous, and it remains unknown if chamber-specific heart cells can be induced and isolated....
