A metabolic change in adult stem cells makes them less “fit” for regenerative heart therapies, suggesting that strategies to prevent this response may boost the therapeutic usefulness of the cells.

Vanderbilt researchers have identified a new protein involved in heart cell growth, which could improve understanding of pathologic cardiac hypertrophy.

Understanding the role that host membrane modification plays in coronavirus replication is essential for developing novel approaches to block the viruses that cause SARS and MERS.

Chronic kidney disease impairs the protective functions of HDL, Vanderbilt researchers report this month.

Patients with orthostatic intolerance – problems when standing – have cognitive changes, even when seated, compared to healthy individuals.
