Are you on the hunt for a novel AAV vector for cardiac gene therapy? We identified a promising candidate in human heart biopsies. @dzhk_germany @uniklinik_hd @CircAHA ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Excited to share our latest work on cardiac gene therapy, where we show that AAV5 is effective in delivering S100A1 to the post-ischemic heart, achieving lasting improvement in cardiac performance. Congrats to Doro and the whole team! @dzhk_germany ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Linker oder rechter Arm? Eine neue Studie zeigt, warum die Impfstelle wichtig ist Bei Impfstoffen kann es einen Unterschied hinsichtlich ihrer Wirksamkeit machen, wo sie in Ihren Körper gelangen. Wissenschaftler in Sydney haben herausgefunden, dass eine Auffrischungsimpfung im…

Female cardiomyocytes show higher expression of fatty acid oxidation genes, leading to greater reliance on fat for energy. A key insight into cardiac sex differences! @yoshiko96821 @MayaTalukdar ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

#ICYMI: S100A1ct peptide therapeutic against heart failure @JuliaRitterhoff @DZHK_germany @uniklinik_hd @volkersmirko @wallyjoe33 @Rebecca_Wade_c @LukasJarosch_

Differences in how male and female cardiomyocytes generate energy may contribute to observed differences in heart disease. New findings from the Page lab: wi.mit.edu/news/taking-pu…

We've been busy this year... It's great to see this published! Using 13C-FA tracing in proliferating cells, we observe a robust incorporation into TCA intermediates, which is quiet different from Seahorse analysis. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

S100A1ct, a synthetic peptide targeting SERCA2a and RyR2, enhances cardiac performance and reduces arrhythmias in preclinical heart failure models. @volkersmirko @wallyjoe33 @Rebecca_Wade_c @LukasJarosch_ ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Is basic science undervalued? David Glanzman talks about the decline of 'middle class' labs and that "there is no empirical evidence that the translational approach accomplishes [cures] any better than the traditional one. Claims to the contrary at this point are mere propaganda”

Happy to share our work on the development of S100A1ct, a peptide based therapy for the treatment of HF. Great collaborative effort! @DZHK_germany @uniklinik_hd ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…
