Ribosome Profiling of 80 Human Hearts Identifies Hundreds of Small Proteins Encoded by Previously Non-Coding Regions
In 2019 systems biologist Sebastiaan van Heesch used ribosome profiling on donated hearts, many from end-stage heart failure patients, and discovered hundreds of mini-proteins encoded by noncoding genome regions. Many of the dark proteins targeted mitochondria, potentially affect…

Heart Beating Inhibits Cancer Growth in Mice, Study in Science Reveals
A new study published today in Science shows that the mechanical beating of the heart prevents cancer cells from proliferating in mouse hearts. Researchers transplanted non-beating hearts and observed rapid cancer growth compared to native beating hearts. This finding may explain…

Mouse Study Finds Heart's Mechanical Stress May Suppress Cancer Growth
Researchers published a study in Science suggesting that the heart's constant beating creates an environment hostile to cancer. The work, conducted in mice, identified genetic mechanisms linked to mechanical forces. Experts called the findings hypothesis-generating and pointed to…

Study Identifies AI Method to Predict Heart Failure Risk Five Years Before Symptoms Using CT Scans
Researchers have developed an AI model that analyzes epicardial fat tissue in CT scans to detect heart failure risk up to five years prior to symptom onset. The approach, detailed in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, focuses on imaging data from patients. This me…
