Dilated Cardiomyopathy Research and Drug Development Services

Inquiry

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a complex multigene-regulated cardiac dysfunction with a complex pathogenesis and no specific therapeutic approach. Ace Therapeutics aims to provide researchers with research model development, pathogenesis studies and novel therapy discovery services for dilated cardiomyopathy.


Pathogenesis of Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a group of cardiac dysfunctions characterized by impaired myocardial contractile function due to ventricular dilatation, which may lead to arrhythmias, heart failure and even sudden cardiac death. The etiology of dilated cardiomyopathy is complex and varied, and the pathogenic mechanism is still unclear. Current research on the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy mainly focuses on the search for disease-causing gene mutations and their impact on the damage to cell structure and function. Therefore, in-depth investigation of the pathogenic mechanism of dilated cardiomyopathy and searching for appropriate therapeutic targets is the most important task in the current research field.

Current Status of Drug Development for Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Because dilated cardiomyopathy has diverse symptoms and is prone to complications, its drug therapy strategy is focused on improving symptoms and preventing complications. Currently, nucleic acid-based therapy and cell-based therapy strategies show great potential for drug development in dilated cardiomyopathy, and are expected to treat dilated cardiomyopathy from the perspective of pathogenesis.
