Sprr1a acts a novel marker for specific subpopulation of border zone cardiomyocytes in mice, that survive myocardial infarction, facilitating their direct visualization, isolation, and longitudinal tracking. ahajrnls.org/3OmYZUW

Genetic CMPs are an under-recognized cause of #HF. Pathogenic variants: ~20% in #DCM, ~30% in HCM, & up to 45% in advanced HF, yet <2% of eligible patients undergo testing. A call to advance precision medicine in HF care? jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCHF #cvHCM #HeartFailure



Titin, the largest known human protein, is vital for normal heart muscle contraction. @yurikim_mdphd, @MerajNeyazi & team @harvardmed now discover an intron-mediated enhancer that regulates TTN gene expression and cardiomyocyte contractility: jci.org/articles/view/…
