A team of physicists at Tampere University has developed a groundbreaking method for detecting congestive heart failure with greater ease and precision than previously thought possible. This multidisciplinary study, involving both cardiologists and computational physicists, builds on the team’s earlier breakthroughs, for example, in predicting the risk of sudden cardiac death.
The full lineup of late-breaking clinical science to be presented at THT 2025: Technology and Heart Failure Therapeutics is now available online. Organized by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation® (CRF®), this premier international heart failure conference will be held February 11-13, 2025, at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport in Boston, MA. The full program guide can be found at: https://tht2025.crfconferences.com/program-guide.
New CU Boulder research shows that women who hit menopause later in life have healthier blood vessels and mitochondria and a different composition of metabolites in their blood than those who stop menstruating earlier. The study helps eplain why late-onset menopause is linked to lower risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Researchers will explore a promising approach for treating degenerative diseases by replacing damaged cells with new ones and will focus on genetically engineering replacement cells from embryonic stem cells, which have the potential to develop into mature cells and tissues. The project aims to address the challenges of converting immature stem cells into fully functional adult cells, specifically investigating how to transform eye lens precursor cells into transparent, functional cells to treat degenerative eye conditions.
