“In a study published Feb. 8 in Science Translational Medicine, a research team from the University of Michigan described how infusing valproic acid into human, mouse and pig hearts protected the tissue from metabolic processes that, in real-world scenarios, would otherwise have rendered them unfit for transplant. If replicated, the findings could help more patients survive heart failure by extending the viability of donor heart tissue.” MORE
