"This process appears to be regulated by myosin-binding protein-C (cMyBP-C), which is a heart muscle protein," study author Kerry McDonald said. "Our study investigated its role in cardiac muscle ...
Biomolecular condensates are distinct molecular communities made of DNA, RNA and proteins that "condense" molecules to key locations inside cells. Intense efforts have focused on uncovering the ...
In a recent study published in Nature Communication, researchers employed artificial intelligence (AI)-driven virtual screening to discover 'F10', a novel cardiac-specific myosin inhibitor for ...
Using technologies like electron microscopy (EM) it is possible to capture molecular mechanisms in great detail, but not when these mechanisms are currently moving. The field of cryomicroscopy ...
The novel cardiac myosin inhibitor aficamten improved peak oxygen uptake in symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the pivotal SEQUOIA-HCM trial showed. At 24 weeks, the mean ...
A decade ago, when Courtney Miller of Scripps Research in Florida found that blocking a specific protein can interrupt methamphetamine addiction in mice, it was difficult to imagine drugs targeting ...
Each year, about 14,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with glioblastoma, one of the deadliest primary brain tumors. With standard treatments of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy ...
In one of two trials that substantially expand clinical evidence with myosin inhibitors in the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a next-in-class agent beat beta-blockers in first-line ...
The American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC), with the support of several other professional societies, have released updated guidelines for the management of ...
