Where this comes from

Abstract

Myheart is a cardiac specific long-noncoding (lnc) RNA with targeted modulation of chromatin modifying SWI/SNF complex via direct interaction with Brg1. Genetic induction of Myheart in mouse heart has a significant protective effect against the pathogenesis of heart failure. LncRNAs are emerging epigenetic regulators with potentially important roles in cardiac development and diseases.
