    ZBP1 Protects against mtDNA-Induced Myocardial Inflammation in Failing Hearts

    Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was administrated into isolated cardiomyocytes. Myocardial infarction was conducted in wild type and Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) knockout mice.

    Cdyl2-60aa Encoded by CircCDYL2 Accelerates Cardiomyocyte Death by Blocking APAF1 Ubiquitination in Rats

    Scientists found that circCDYL2 derived from chromodomain Y-like 2 (Cdyl2) was significantly upregulated in vitro in oxygen-glucose deprivation-treated cardiomyocytes, and in vivo in failing heart post-myocardial infarction.

    Differential Effects of CMV Infection on the Viability of Cardiac Cells

    Researchers infected primary cardiomyocytes and primary cardiac fibroblasts with wild-type and cell-death suppressor deficient mutant cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) to determine how CMV regulates necroptosis and apoptosis in cardiac cells.

    How the Mechanobiology Orchestrates the Iterative and Reciprocal ECM-Cell Cross-Talk That Drives Microtissue Growth

    Using de novo–grown microtissues, scientists identified crucial actors of the mechanoregulated events, which iteratively orchestrated a sharp transition from tissue growth to maturation, requiring a myofibroblast-to-fibroblast transition.

    USP18 Is an Essential Regulator of Muscle Cell Differentiation and Maturation

    Researchers found that ubiquitin-specific protease 18 (USP18) depletion altered the calcium channel gene network, resulting in reduced calcium flux in myotubes. The reduced expression of sarcomeric proteins in the USP18 proteome was consistent with reduced contractile force in an engineered muscle model.

    Skeletal Muscle Gene Expression Dysregulation in Long-Term Spaceflights and Aging Is Clock-Dependent

    The authors investigated potential functional consequences of clock disruptions on skeletal muscle using published omics datasets obtained from spaceflights and other clock-altering, external, or internal conditions on Earth.

    FN (Fibronectin)-Integrin α5 Signaling Promotes Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm in a Mouse Model of Marfan Syndrome

    Plating of wild-type vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) on FN decreased contractile gene expression and activated inflammatory pathways, whereas α5/2 SMCs were resistant.

    Histopathological Evaluation of Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy Specimens of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

    Immunohistochemical studies confirmed the expression of oxidants, antioxidants, and smooth muscle cell differentiation markers and their changes during the progression of thrombus organization.
