Researchers have identified a key protein that may help failing hearts regain function, offering new insight into why some hearts recover while others do not. 🫀
🔗: go.vt.edu/upS4b
ALT Junco Warren (at center), an assistant professor at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, helped lead a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association that sheds light on the process of recovery from heart failure. Members of her lab including (from left) Audrey Korte, Mysha Alabbi, Alexey Zaitsev, Samia Tasneem, Karthi Sreedevi, and Abigail Doku study the mechanisms underlying metabolic reprogramming in the failing heart.

Getting the dose on new research💊
The Center for Drug Discovery recently held a poster session, where researchers showcased their innovative findings!🔬🙌
ALT Groups of girls talk with one another in front of their posters.
ALT Three guys laugh, smile, and talk with one another in front of posters.
ALT A woman shares her research poster with others.
ALT A bird's eye view of the event, showing people walking around and talking with one another about their posters.
