Analysis of Massachusetts Medicaid data finds that people with diabetes, heart disease, depression, and other conditions who received medically tailored meals for at least six months experienced significantly fewer health emergencies and lower costs of care than those who did not. 

Researchers from The University of Osaka found that nanomicelle-mediated delivery of five mRNAs involved in angiogenesis, heart cell contraction, immune and hematopoietic stem cell recruitment, and immune response suppression promoted cardiac repair and increased overall survival in a mouse model of myocardial infarction–induced heart failure. These findings suggest that a multifactorial treatment approach effectively addresses the complex nature of heart failure and could aid new treatments in regenerative medicine for cardiovascular disease.
