Researchers at Florida State University have helped locate and understand a thin filament inside the heart muscle, which is the first that science has known of this piece of the cardiovascular puzzle.
Working with other researchers from Eastern Virginia Medical School and the University of Virginia, Professor Bryan Chase and Professor Jose Pinto of FSU have a better understanding of the complicated muscular processes of the heart.
The structure in the heart that is currently studied is called the thin filament. In the past, cardiovascular researchers have known about the thin filament, but did not know its exact structure.

The study found the vaccine is safe among that age group and those who received it only experienced minor symptoms, similar to young adults.
