Washington, Mar 17: Researchers from Thomas Jefferson University have identified a novel signalling pathway that can be a potential target for heart failure therapy.

Aldosterone production is mediated by a protein called beta-arrestin-1. Aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex and its levels are elevated in chronic heart failure.
