A 'reset' of regulatory T-cells reverses chronic heart failure in mouse model

(University of Alabama at Birmingham) A severe heart attack, however, can cause chronic and sustained inflammation that leads to heart failure and death. In mouse experiments, scientists now have shown a way to hit an immunological 'reset button' that ends that inappropriately sustained inflammation. This reset reverses the pathologic enlargement and pumping failure of the heart, and it suggests a therapeutic approach to treating human heart failure. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)
