This study investigates the diabetes-associated alterations present in cardiac mesenchymal cells (CMSC) obtained from normoglycaemic (ND-CMSC) and Type-2 diabetes patients (D-CMSC), identifying the histone acetylase (HAT) activator pentadecylidenemalonate 1b (SPV106) as a potential pharmacological intervention to restore cellular function.
