Formyl Peptide Receptor agonists for myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction (MI or “heart attack”) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. In patients with MI, the treatment of choice for reducing acute myocardial ischemic injury and limiting MI size is timely and effective myocardial reperfusion using either thombolytic therapy or primary percutaneous coronary intervention. However,...

Plasmalogen modulation for atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is the single most common cause of cardiovascular disease and is the major contributor to the development of angina, heart attacks, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease and stroke. Despite the introduction of statin based therapy to reduce levels of plasma LDL-cholesterol, the epidemic of cardiovascular disease claims...

Fluorescence catheter for detection of vulnerable plaques

Professor Peter's group at Baker IDI has unique expertise in molecular imaging technology identifying different components of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques. This group is developing a highly sensitive narrow-range wavelength fluorescence catheter. Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques are the most important cause of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity...

CD40L-Mac1 binding inhibitor for Inflammation

Atherosclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory disease driven by the continuous emigration of monocytes into the vessel wall. CD40L is an established marker and mediator of chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. While anti-CD40L treatment generated promising results in clinical trials, elevated thrombembolic complications prohibited the...

Natriuretic peptides for heart failure

Baker IDI researchers have designed a potent natriuretic peptide that has the potential not only to provide a treatment for HF patients in hospital, but also for stable HF patients after discharge. Natriuretic peptides are normally released by a failing heart to reduce the symptoms of heart failure through multiple actions: increasing blood volume,...
