AUGUSTA, Georgia, Aug. 27 [TNSmedicalresearch] -- Augusta University issued the following news release:
Heart muscle can continue to die even after restoring blood following a heart attack, and scientists have new evidence that one way to help it live is by boosting levels of a tiny RNA that helped the heart form.
In their mouse model of this ischemia/reperfusion injury of the heart, they've found they can reduce heart muscle death 40 percent by giving a manmade version . . .
