Cut and Paste of Myosin Binding Protein-C in Striated Muscles
Dr. Samantha Harris discusses the development of three new mouse models in her lab, engineered to target and replace specific myosin binding protein-C paralogs in muscle fibers and impact of their mutations on skeletal and cardiac muscle diseases.
Autonomic Regulation of Metabolic and Cardiovascular Functions in Health and Disease
In this webinar, Dr. Rahmouni presents his research on the fundamental processes mediating autonomic nervous system control of energy homeostasis and cardiovascular function in health and disease.
Video Interview – IonOptix MultiCell Sytem
Joe Soughayer, Business Development Manager at IonOptix, discusses the MultiCell System, an advanced, fully-automated solution for identification and quantification of hundreds of myocytes per hour.
Measurement of Cardiac Function Using Pressure-Volume Loops in Swine
Join Dr. Pedro Ferreira for a deep dive into his work using pressure-volume loops in large animal models of heart failure.
Video Interview – IonOptix Cardiac Slice System
Joe Soughayer, Business Development Manager at IonOptix, discusses the Cardiac Slice System, a complete data acquisition and analysis system for calcium, force, and mechanical work in cardiac slices that is enabling groundbreaking strides in physiological research.
Peripheral and Cerebral Vascular Responses Following High-Intensity Interval Exercise
Dr. Bert Bond and Max Weston present an overview on their study investigating the effects high-intensity interval exercise has on cerebrovascular health.
A Breath of Not-So-Fresh Air: the Combined Effects of Air and Noise Pollution
While air and noise pollution have been well documented independently, their combined effects are insufficiently discussed, until recently. In this blog post, we discuss a recent publication from Kuntic et al. on the combined and individual effects of these pollutants in mice.
#ExpertAnswers: Phil Griffiths on Telemetry Studies
Phil Griffiths draws from his experience as a telemetry user to discuss some important considerations for designing telemetry studies.
Orphan Receptor GPR55: A New Therapeutic Target for Atherosclerosis?
Since the role of GPR55 in adaptive B cell response regulation has not yet been reported in the context of atherosclerosis, Guillamat-Prats et al. have investigated how GPR55 in B cells affects atherosclerosis development. In this blog post, we highlight the main findings from this study, which was published this month in Nature Cardiovascular Research.
Experimental Design Considerations to Optimize Chronic Cardiovascular Telemetry Studies
Phil Griffiths, PhD, presents a summary of chronic cardiovascular telemetry studies and considerations for experimental design.
