Powell • August 20, 2025

​

Good morning, Powell. The fountain of youth might be closer than we think. Ohio State researchers have made a breakthrough in reversing age-related heart disease using non-viral gene therapy that improves heart function in just six weeks. This revolutionary approach involving "good fat" could transform treatment options for heart disease—the world's leading cause of death—just as America's senior population is set to surge past 20% by 2030.

From scientific wonders to local leisure, Westerville's new Smash Park entertainment venue is riding the pickleball wave sweeping through Central Ohio. Meanwhile, art enthusiasts should hurry to visit the Ohio Craft Museum in Grandview Heights before its temporary closure on July 7. This hidden gem showcases contemporary works by local artisans completely free of charge, and will reopen September 1 with upgraded gallery lighting and a refreshed space to display Ohio's artistic talent.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally

❤️ Revolutionary gene therapy could reverse age-related heart disease. Ohio State University researchers discovered that increasing brown fat or a specific lipokine (12,13-diHOME) can preserve cardiac health in aging populations. Using non-viral gene therapy called Tissue Nanotransfection, scientists successfully improved heart function in older mice within just six weeks. The breakthrough involves brown fat, sometimes called "good fat," which burns energy unlike ordinary white fat. With over 20% of Americans projected to be 65+ by 2030, this research offers promising new approaches to combat heart disease, the world's leading cause of death.
