SYNPO2L Isoforms Regulate the Action Potential Characteristics and Contractility of Atrial Cardiomyocytes via YAP Signaling to Modulate Atrial Fibrillation Risk

This study shows that a rare splice mutation in SYNPO2L leads to increased SYNPO2L_B isoform expression, impairing atrial cardiomyocyte function, and that restoring SYNPO2L_A improves electrophysiology and contractility via YAP signaling.

Plakophilin-2 Coordinates Energy Metabolism and Contractility in Cardiomyocytes, Revealing Its Roles beyond Desmosomes

This study identifies metabolic defects in PKP2-deficient cardiomyocytes and shows that restoring PKP2 improves contractility and electrophysiological properties.
