Grant announced to explore molecular basis of heart disease, pursue innovative therapies

(Temple University Health System) Significant disparities exist in the incidence and severity of heart disease, particularly between men and women, and major barriers remain for the successful long-term care of heart disease patients. Thanks to a $12-million Program Project Grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Temple scientists are set to break down these barriers by exploring molecular mechanisms of heart injury and repair. They hope to identify new paths to the development...
