Cellular pathway of genetic heart disease similar to neurodegenerative disease

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Research on a genetic heart disease has uncovered a new and unexpected mechanism for heart failure. This landmark discovery found a correlation between the clumping of RNA-binding proteins ? long linked to neurodegenerative disease ? and the aggregates of protein found in the heart tissue of patients with RBM20 dilated cardiomyopathy. Dilated [...]
