Great new study with collaboration from the Regnier lab @uwbioe.bsky.social and the Kad lab at the University of Kent in the UK! Very cool spatially resolved single-molecule imaging. @ctmr-uw.bsky.social
Single-molecule imaging provides a high spatial resolution of fluorescent ATP binding to myosin within cardiac myofibrils. Pilagov, Steczina, Naim, et al. of the Kad lab @kent.ac.uk study PKA phosphorylation and a haploinsufficiency-causing mutation from human tissue. rupress.org/jgp/article/...

Exciting work from my brother!
SHP1 keeps lungs afloat in a sea of inflammation: https://www.jci.org/articles/view/183161

S. Farshid Moussavi-Harami & team show that Shp1 activation reduces lung inflammation in mouse models of acute lung injury.

A coding variant in BAG3 protects against dilated cardiomyopathy but increases risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and is found to modify the effects of pathogenic TTN variants

Bidirectional Risk Modulator Along the DCM-HCM Spectrum
This cross-sectional study evaluates the association of BAG3 genetic variation with penetrance and longitudinal outcomes of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
