HEART MUSCLE: Pioneering research at UB focusing on reversing a heart dysfunction called “hibernating myocardium” that can cause disabling heart failure and sudden death has received a major boost with a $2.5 million grant from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
INTERNATIONAL EFFORT: UB researchers are beginning two new studies as part of an international effort to prevent type 1 diabetes that involves researchers at 22 clinical centers in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
