"Scientists Identify Key Protein That Can Reverse Deadly Heart Condition"
An international team of scientists has identified a key protein, CCN5, that has the potential to reverse established cardiac fibrosis, the abnormal thickening of the heart valves, which progresses to heart failure. "Our research is the first to demonstrate the ability to reverse cardiac fibrosis in heart failure models by targeting a specific gene," said lead researcher Roger Hajjar, MD, a professor of cardiology and director of the Cardiovascular Research Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
