This study investigates the role of fast skeletal myosin binding protein-C in heart failure, finding that its expression exacerbates cardiac dysfunction and that its deletion improves heart function.

This study shows engineered bacteria can improve survival and cardiac function after myocardial infarction by enhancing gut barrier integrity and reducing inflammation.

This study shows that inhibiting HuR reduces cardiac remodeling after ischemia-reperfusion injury by dampening inflammatory gene expression and immune response, but not initial infarct size.
