Researchers from Affinia Therapeutics Inc. have described the development and preclinical evaluation of a new AAV-based gene therapy, designed using a novel cardiotropic capsid, for the potential treatment of MYBPC3-associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Boston Scientific Corp. posted another eye-popping quarterly report, led by a 177% year-over-year increase in its electrophysiology business to $527 million, which exceeded consensus expectations by $99 million. That stunning EP growth follows 125% growth in the second quarter and 70% in the first quarter, all largely attributed to the Farapulse pulsed field ablation system, which achieved unprecedented adoption rates.
Researchers from the University of Maryland in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Duke University have identified angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) as a targetable protein to reverse cardiovascular dysfunction in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).
Increasing evidence exists regarding the involvement of methyltransferase 1, tRNA methylguanosine (METTL1) in cardiac repair and fibrosis. The search for new therapeutic targets for alleviating ischemic heart disease due to cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is of vital importance.
Boston Scientific Corp. racked up a two-fer from the U.S. FDA with approval of its navigation-enabled Farawave Nav ablation catheter and 510(k) clearance for the Faraview software for use with its Farapulse pulsed field ablation (PFA) system.
Cardiovascular disease is among the leading causes of death in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The role that microRNA 210 (miR-210) plays in endothelial cells and in diabetes-driven endothelial dysfunction is not clearly understood. Its potential as a therapeutic target was investigated.
Among the mechanisms causing calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) are mitochondrial dysfunction and immune cell infiltration, but it is not well understood just how they impact CAVD pathogenesis.
Medtronic plc received U.S. FDA approval to undertake an early feasibility study of its dual-energy Affera cardiac ablation system in sustained ventricular tachycardia. Affera combines both radiofrequency and pulsed field ablation technologies in the Sphere-9 catheter along with high-density mapping.
Isomab Ltd. has nominated ISM-001 as a development candidate for peripheral arterial disease. ISM-001 is a potential first-in-class therapeutic antibody designed to neutralize VEGF-A165b, the anti-angiogenic VEGF-A splice isoform that acts as a brake on development of new blood vessels leading to chronic limb threatening ischemia.
China’s National Medical Products Administration has given the thumbs up to Junshi Biosciences Co. Ltd.’s NDA for ongericimab, a recombinant humanized anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, marking the third PCSK9 inhibitor to be cleared in China.
