Animate Biosciences Reports Preclinical Data Showing Reduced Cardiac Scarring and Nearly Doubled Heart Function After Heart Attack.

When patients arrive for a cardiac MRI at Health First’s Holmes Regional Medical Center, they may not realize that while they lie still in the scanner.

Scarring of heart tissue can be slowed but not stopped, and can lead to heart failure. But a new study has shown that an existing immunotherapy could stop scar tissue formation after heart attacks.
