UNC researchers have discovered how the genetic defect underlying one of the most common heart diseases keeps the critical organ from developing properly. According to the new research the mutation sin the gene called SHP-2 distort the shape of cardiac muscle cells so they are unable to form a fully functioning heart. This study also shows that the treatment with a drug that regulates cell shape and rescues the cardiac defect. This could one day benefit Noonan syndrome patients.
I thought that this was very interesting because it reminded me of the open note test we had in science. The discovery will help save lives.
