\t\t\tThis study, which was coordinated by Dr. Stuart Cook group at the Medical Research Council in London and Dr. Daniel Sanchis from IRBLleida-University of Lleida, and which have collaborated researchers from Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), UAB and the Laboratory Animal Applied Research Platform from Barcelona Scientific Park (LAARP-PCB)<\/a>, has identified EndoG as a protein responsible for maintaining the form and function of the heart and, therefore, its role as a fundamental regulator of cardiac hypertrophy. <\/p>\n

Despite the great therapeutic interest, so far are unknown mechanisms that control cardiac hypertrophy, what induces and how does the thickening of the heart happen, particularly when it does not respond to increased blood pressure. Therefore, if they could control the abnormal thickening of the heart, may reduce the risk of heart failure, improving the health of the patient. This discovery published today in Nature (doi:10.1038\/nature10490<\/a>) opens the door to Endogen as therapeutic target and as a key element in the analysis and prognosis of heart diseases. <\/p>\n
