    Cfp1 Controls Cardiomyocyte Maturation by Modifying Histone H3K4me3 of Structural, Metabolic, and Contractile Related Genes

    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.

    JOSD2 Mediates Isoprenaline-Induced Heart Failure by Deubiquitinating CaMKIIδ in Cardiomyocytes

    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.
