Molecular Alteration May Be Cause — Not Consequence — of Heart Failure
Clinicians and scientists have long observed that cells in overstressed hearts have high levels of the simple sugar O-GlcNAc modifying thousands of proteins within cells. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have found evidence in mouse experiments that these excess sugars could well be a cause, not merely a consequence or marker of heart failure.
Story Tips from Johns Hopkins Experts on COVID-19
One year ago, then 65-year-old Miriam Clark developed a fever, lost her appetite and had no energy.

Looking back on the year, the mother and daughter duo are thankful and now even have reason to celebrate.
Near-atomic ‘maps’ reveal structure for maintaining pH balance in cells
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Nov. 4, 2020) — For the first time, scientists have visualized a new class of molecular gates that maintain pH balance within brain cells, a critical function that keeps cells alive and helps prevent stroke and other brain injuries.
