This paper develops a wireless battery-free implantable device for selective vagus nerve stimulation, demonstrating reduced off-target effects in pigs and a human trial.

This study shows that ablating cardiac TRPV1 afferents after completed myocardial infarction reduces arrhythmogenic remodeling and improves cardiac function.

This study investigates age-related mitochondrial structural deficits in the kidney, finding that the MICOS complex is impaired, leading to increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.

This study investigates how NPY affects L-type Ca2+ channel activity in ventricular myocytes before and after myocardial infarction, finding context-dependent stimulatory and inhibitory effects.

This study compares intrinsic cardiac neurons across humans, mice, and pigs, revealing species-specific differences in structure, function, and neuropeptide expression.

This study investigates age-related changes in mitochondrial structure and function in the liver, identifying MICOS complex dysregulation as a contributor to metabolic and structural impairments.

This paper demonstrates spatially-selective vagus nerve stimulation (sVNS) can target cardiac efferent fibers to decrease heart rate without stimulating afferent-related reflexes, improving precision and efficacy of neuromodulation for cardiac disease.

This study identifies structural and metabolic changes in human heart failure using SBF-SEM and metabolomic analyses.

The paper identifies distinct subtypes of cardiac-innervating sympathetic neurons using viral tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing, revealing their unique physiological roles in stress responses.
