How virus-like proteins shape a cell’s stress response
Researchers from University of Michigan have identified pivotal roles for a pair of virus-like proteins and their effect on how cells self-regulate and respond to stress. These proteins are implicated in several cancers and neurodegenerative diseases

High triglycerides drive life threatening aortic aneurysms, study in mice finds
High levels of triglycerides, the most common type of fat in the body and the foods you eat, directly cause abdominal aortic aneurysms, according to a study in mice. A drug candidate lowered triglyceride levels by up to 50% and prevented aneurysm formation, showing promise as a treatment avenue.

Why donor hearts fail in cold storage — and how to prevent it
Researchers have discovered a new molecular process that occurs when donor hearts are preserved in cold storage which contributes to failure after transplant, a study in both humans and animals shows. Fortunately, therapy that is typically prescribed for high blood pressure can target this process to reduce cold preservation associated with cardiac injury. This discovery has potential to improve the consistent function of donor hearts and extend the distance they can be safely transported in cold storage.

Researchers find significant differences in care of life threatening shock after heart attack
A study finds most hospitals don’t see many cardiogenic shock patients. When they do, providers often do not have a standardized way of treating them.
