Multimodal Hypersampling of the adult human heart resolves tissue-specific cell states and disease-associated variants

This paper creates a detailed heart atlas using multimodal data to identify cell states and disease-associated genetic variants in specific heart regions.

Resident cardiac macrophages are not required for normal atrioventricular node conduction

This study challenges the role of resident cardiac macrophages in AV node conduction by showing no evidence of Cx43-mediated coupling and no effect of macrophage depletion on AV electrical activity.

Successful stimulation of myocardial ganglionic plexuses by TAU 20 in the absence of cardiac damage

The paper tests a neural simulator, Tau-20 version 2, to safely deliver high-frequency stimulation for identifying ganglionated plexuses in atrial fibrillation treatment without causing cardiac damage.

Spatially resolved multiomics of human cardiac niches

This paper uses spatial transcriptomics and single-cell data to identify cellular niches in the human heart, revealing new insights into cardiac function and potential drug targets.
