Abstract
In the current issue of Cell Metabolism, Arany et al. (2005) demonstrate essential roles for PGC-1alpha in cardiac metabolism, proving several long-postulated functions while disproving others. These experiments conclusively reinforce the logic of rescuing PGC-1alpha as a novel therapeutic target in heart failure.
