Curing Heart Disease
This is a great time for something positive!

https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/...092917.php

Until now, conventional treatments for heart failure have consisted of surgery or medications, which can alleviate symptoms but do not cure the disease. In contrast, Bolli's focus has been on how to repair the heart itself and actually cure heart failure using a patient's own stem cells. It is an approach that could revolutionize the treatment of heart disease.

***

On Friday, Postel noted that the NIH didn't just approve UofL's grant application - a long, multistep process involving more than a dozen reviewers who are experts in the field - it funded the project with a perfect score and rare high praise. In fact, the committee reviewing the application concluded Bolli's program was, quote "exceptional," with "significant translational impact, an exceptional leader and investigative team and an exceptional environment."

"We are continually striving for new and better ways to treat heart disease," Bolli said. "I'm confident we are not that far from a cure."

They are reportedly about 4 years away from clinical trials on patients. This would reduce the need for heart transplants. This is great news indeed.

After UofL cures heart disease, and eliminates all risk of cancer, appendicitis, and STDs, everyone will live forever. The only thing that's going to die is UofL's athletic programs.

Not necessary! Only one more chance.

Of P01 grants awarded to schools in the ACC (which are program project grants of the same scope as the one renewed at Louisville):

Duke currently has 12 active ones. UNC has 11. Pitt has 6. UVA has 5. Wake has 4. Miami has 3. Georgia Tech and Notre Dame both have 1 (although having no med schools), and Louisville has 1.

Congrats to all the schools.
