    Asparagine Synthetase Marks a Distinct Dependency Threshold for Cardiomyocyte Dedifferentiation

    The authors leveraged two models of in vitro cultured adult mouse cardiomyocytes and in vivo adeno-associated virus serotype 9 cardiomyocyte-targeted delivery of reprogramming factors in adult mice to study cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation.

    Thiamine-Modified Metabolic Reprogramming of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocyte under Space Microgravity

    Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) subjected to space microgravity showed decreased beating rate and abnormal intracellular calcium cycling. Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed a battery of metabolic remodeling of hPSC-CMs in spaceflight, especially thiamine metabolism.

    Arterial Smooth Muscle Cell AKAP150 Mediates Exercise-Induced Repression of CaV1.2 Channel Function in Cerebral Arteries of Hypertensive Rats

    Spontaneously hypertensive rats and newly generated smooth muscle–specific AKAP150 knockin mice were used to assess the role of myocyte AKAP150/CaV1.2 channel in regulating cerebral artery function after exercise intervention.

    RSAD2 Is Abundant in Atherosclerotic Plaques and Promotes Interferon-Induced CXCR3-Chemokines in Human Smooth Muscle Cells

    Investigators harnessed publicly available human carotid atherosclerotic data to explore radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine domain containing 2 (RSAD2) in lesions and employed siRNA-mediated gene-knockdown to investigate its function in interferon gamma-stimulated human aortic smooth muscle cells.
