A biomarker has been found for the most common form of heart failure

Cedars-Sinai Discovery May Aid Doctors in Diagnosing At-risk Patients Before Symptoms Appear A team led by a Cedars-Sinai physician-scientist has discovered a biomarker—a protein found in the blood—for the most common type of heart failure, a new study published today in JAMA Cardiology shows. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects more than 6.5 million Americans

Combining adult stem cells with hormone may speed bone fracture healing

A combination of adult stem cells and parathyroid hormone significantly increased new bone formation in laboratory animals and may speed the healing process for human bone fractures caused by osteoporosis, a new study shows. The study is published online by Molecular Therapy, a peer-reviewed journal in the Nature Publishing Group. Researchers used a combination of

Stem Cell Injection May Soon Reverse Vision Loss Caused By Age-Related Macular Degeneration

An injection of stem cells into the eye may soon slow or reverse the effects of early-stage age-related macular degeneration, according to new research from scientists at Cedars-Sinai Currently, there is no treatment that slows the progression of the disease, which is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 65. “This is the

Transplanting Gene into Injured Hearts Creates Biological Pacemakers

Cardiologists at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute have developed a minimally invasive gene transplant procedure that changes unspecialized heart cells into “biological pacemaker” cells that keep the heart steadily beating. The laboratory animal research, published online and in today’s print edition of the peer-reviewed journal Science Translational Medicine, is the result of a dozen years of research with the
