In Focus: Heart Failure
The Hidden Threat
Medical advances have improved heart attack survival rates, but as cardiologist Richard Kitsis explains, this has led to increased rates of heart failure.
Preventing the Damage
In the hopes of short-circuiting heart failure, Dr. Evripidis Gavathiotis is targeting BAX, the protein that causes cells to die after a heart attack.
A New Start
Dr. Brett Abrahams is on the trail of the new genetic variants that increase the risk for autism. His pioneering work could pave the way for new drug therapies.
