Los Angeles-based Cedars-Sinai has received more than $20 million to study potential treatments for heart failure and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.

The funding comes from two separate grants — each more than $10 million — from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, according to a Dec. 11 news release from Cedars-Sinai.

One grant will support preclinical studies that combine RNA drug TY1 with semaglutide for the treatment of heart failure. The second grant will study a treatment for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in athletes and young people.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
