|
| CXXC zinc finger protein 1 (Cfp1), a key epigenetic factor in multi-lineage cell development, was underexplored in its influence on cardiomyocyte maturation. Reearchers investigated the role and mechanisms of Cfp1 in this context. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that perlecan expression increased as cardiomyocytes mature in vivo and during human pluripotent stem cell differentiation to cardiomyocytes. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors demonstrated that deficiency of a deubiquitinase, Josephin domain-containing protein 2 (JOSD2), ameliorated isoprenaline- and myocardial infarction-induced cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and dysfunction both in vitro and in vivo. [Cellular And Molecular Life Sciences] |
|
|
|
| | Researchers provided comprehensive insight into the RNA profile and chromatin accessibility of different myofibers, combining RNA sequencing with an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing. [Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters] |

|
|
| Investigators used ribosome-related gene expression as a proxy measure for ribosome content and hypothesised that aerobic conditioning and resistance training would increase ribosome-related gene expression. [Journal Of Cellular Physiology] |
| |
|
|
| Using hydrogels of tuneable stiffness and lysyl oxidase-mediated stiffening of human saphenous vein ex vivo, researchers investigated the role of substrate stiffness in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cells calcification. [Journal Of Molecular And Cellular Cardiology] |

|
|
| Exposure to cholesterol in vascular smooth muscle cells activated inflammatory signaling and induced senescence, while reducing HRD1 protein expression. [Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology] |

|
| As age advances, senescent cells accumulate in our body organs comprising the cardiovascular system. Notably, these cells stimulate pro-survival pathways and hinder their regenerative capacity. [European Heart Journal] |
|
|
|
| The authors review factors that drive the initiation and progression of this vasculopathy in vascular smooth muscle cells. [Hypertension] |

|
| The University of Victoria (UVic) celebrates the achievements of their exceptional researchers whose dedication shapes academia and societal progress, including Nicole York, who is studying the role of the ankyrin-B proteins in cardiomyocyte development. [University of Victoria] |
