Reducing nuclear damage improves heart function and survival in mice

Reducing damage to the nuclei of heart muscle cells improved heart function and extended survival in mice with a form of inherited heart disease, according to a new study led by Cornell researchers. The findings point to new approaches for understanding and potentially treating LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease that leads to heart failure and sudden cardiac death.
