Fascinating @smidtheart.bsky.social research seminar by Farah Sheikh of @ucsandiego.bsky.social on #ARVC#BenchToBedside journey towards AAV gene therapy with PKP2, now in clinical trials!

Pleased to share our paper: #EVs released from #heart #postMI travel to #brain and cause #neuroinflammation, underlying #depression. Work of Ke Liao, PhD

Brilliant @smidtheart.bsky.social research seminar by Rajan Sah MD PhD of Washington University on SWELL channels and their role in #platelet #thrombosis. Big implications for therapeutics of #MI and #stroke.

Provocative @smidtheart.bsky.social #cardiology grand rounds by Rita Redberg who highlights the low bar set for @fda.gov approval of medical devices. Hard clinical endpoints in adequately powered trials sorely lacking. No wonder investors prefer devices over drugs or novel biological therapies!

Inspiring start to Cedars Sinai’s academic retreat by Shlomo Melmed, MD, who emphasizes how our unique structure enables progress towards science-based clinical innovation.

New discoveries abound in @ahmedgibrahim.bsky.social as evidenced today by #labmeeting on #EVs and #ncRNAs from genetically engineered #fibroblasts that pulled a Jekyll and Hyde, becoming salutary post- #MI. Great work of Hiroaki Komuro!

Check out the in-press preview of our @jclinicalinvest paper on regulatory #Tcells — we discovered a #ncRNA that can enhance #Treg dynamics fast enough to improve #MI healing in vivo. New hope for refractory inflammatory and immune conditions?

@russellrogers.bsky.social discussed experiments w/Lefer Lab taking advantage of the mechanistic differences between #GLP1RA & #ncRNA #TY1 as therapeutics for #HFpEF. Compelling evidence for synergistic benefits in two rodent models! Potential for less skeletal muscle loss?

The incomparable @mkittlesonmd.bsky.social teaches us that #HFpEF is a diagnosis of exclusion— rule out AS, HCM, pericardial constriction and, above all, #amyloidosis.

Single nuclei #RNAseq of human #HFpEF heart biopsies by Virginia Hahn of @hopkinsheart.bsky.social reveals interesting #macrophage specific changes. Lots of provocative findings!
March 20, 2025 at 5:29 PM
Great opening lecture by #HFpEF pioneer @dakheartguy.bsky.social on #sarcomere abnormalities— huge differences in #calcium activated force in #myocytes from obese vs morbidly obese patients. Clinical correlation less evident…

Inspiring kickoff to @fda.gov Cell Therapy workshop with keynote lecture by Sally Temple— PSC-derived neural cells are coming into their own! FDA CBER has been highly supportive of this transformative field.

In an effort to pretend life is normal and we can just talk science, our #journalclub today featured Liz on the lasting epigenomic traces of #obesity; Diana on ML-directed #protein #evolution; and James critiqued #iPSC #cardiomyocyte sheets. A welcome distraction from the prevailing woes about NIH.
February 20, 2025 at 8:04 PM
Great plenary talk by Jennifer Van Eyk at Cardiac Muscle Society meeting on #proteomics of the 🫀— inspiring journey of discovery from 2d gels of tissue to single-cardiomyocyte protein profiling!

Exciting new findings on #SAnode dysfunction in #HFpEF by Thassio Mesquita in our #labmeeting today. Chronotropic incompetence is due to intrinsic #pacemaker abnormalities!

A great pleasure to host my former #postdoc @stevenpjones.bsky.social of the @cardiometabosci.bsky.social @uoflenvirome.bsky.social as Visiting Professor in our @smidtheart.bsky.social
#Frontiers seminar series. The intersection of #metabolism and #inflammation is vital!

Stimulating discussion of best therapy for #bicuspid #aortic #stenosis by, among others, Aakriti Gupta and Michael Bowdish. Paradoxical realization that bioprosthetic valves may be worse than mechanical ones in young people…. Let alone #TAVR vs #SAVR.

Provocative summary of #AI in #medicine by Sumeet Chugh.

Stimulating #labmeeting today by #postdoc Salwa Soussi, PhD on #aging and how it is modulated by novel #RNAdrug #TY1. Strong evidence for central role of #cGAS #STING in cardiac #senescence. Animated discussion followed!

Juvenile #Hawaiian monk #seal, among the rarest of marine mammals (approx 1500 individuals). Endemic to Hawaii, here for millennia before human colonization. Went back in the water and swam away shortly after this sighting.

Proud to have our own @drmarthagulati.bsky.social of @smidtheart.bsky.social speaking at the first-ever White House Conference on Women’s Health Research, hosted by President Biden and the First Lady.👍👏

Great #journalclub presentations today by Kara Tsi on genetic dissection of #EV secretion pathways; Alice Rannou on the first in vivo human #CRISPR trial; and @russellrogers.bsky.social on heart-brain interactions in #MI. Highest standards of presentation and discussion!
@smidtheart.bsky.social

Stimulating #labmeeting today by postdoc Jonah Zarrow on #tRNA based new drugs. Continuing the promise of the #EV-based CREDO #ncRNA development paradigm.
