Implanted patches of iPS cell-derived heart muscle integrated with heart tissue in a primate model of heart failure, and in patients being treated in a clinical trial, marks progress toward a potential option for patients with advanced heart failure.
CF Pharmtech Guangzhou Ltd. and CF Pharmtech Hongkong Ltd. have identified prodrugs of treprostinil reported to be useful for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary fibrosis.
Shares of Tectonic Therapeutic Inc. (NASDAQ:TECX) closed Jan. 30 at $54.84, up $29.12, or 113%, on what Leerink analyst David Risinger called in his report “the most impressive hemodynamic results we have seen” in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Novartis AG has synthesized new sodium channel protein type 5 subunit alpha (SCN5A; Nav1.5) blockers reported to be useful for the treatment of heart failure, long QT syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, angina pectoris, myotonia, ventricular tachycardia, atrial and ventricular fibrillation, among others.
Myocardial fibrosis is a key process for heart failure development that may lead to severe phenotypes, including cardiac arrest or sudden death. Vasorin (VASN) is a protein with high expression in the cardiovascular system and its upregulation had been found to protect smooth muscle cells from calcification.
