Research into repairing damaged heart muscle is set to be advanced with the Centenary Institute's Dr Daniel Hesselson awarded a Cardiovascular Collaborative Grant worth $994,000 under the NSW Government's Cardiovascular Research Capacity Program. Heart muscle damage resulting from a heart attack or cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease) can lead to reduced heart function and life expectancy as well as decreased quality of life. Dr Hesselson's research aims to address this health issue by enhancing the potency of a promising therapeutic – a protein called Krüppel-like factor-1 (KLF1) – that can stimulate the growth of heart muscle cells.
