Radiation Treatment Persistently Alters Heart Cell Function to Produce Benefits in Heart Failure Patients

This paper is interesting as a first step on the way to further research into compensatory therapies that can reduce the cardiac muscle dysfunction of heart failure. One-time radiation therapy appears to persistently change cardiomyocyte behavior via altered epigenetic regulation of notch signaling, leading to modestly improved heart tissue function. […]
