We still have no medical therapy for aortic stenosis, but in this month’s issue of @JACCJournals #JACCBTS, Han, et al. take us closer to possible pharmacologic targets as they define the role of PALMD in aortic valve disease. 🎯 Come along as we take a look! 🧵 1/11

@smartdunc's first first-author paper is finally in press! @CVResearch "Immune profiling of murine cardiac leukocytes identifies Trem2 as a novel mediator of hypertensive heart failure" shorturl.at/gG123 @CVimmunology @Jean_Wassenaar @AmandaDoranLab @VAgrawalMDPhD
In two weeks @smartdunc, a graduate student in the lab of Meena Madhur, will defend his thesis titled "Inflammation in hypertensive cardiac remodeling and heart failure." We can't wait to see you there and here all about this work!
A study in @Nature finds that high doses of the sweetener sucralose reduce immune responses in mice. The findings do not provide evidence that normal sucralose intake may be immunosuppressive. go.nature.com/42fnJ3p
