Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) is a life-threatening complication of sepsis characterized by myocardial dysfunction. SICM significantly increases mortality rates in sepsis. Despite its clinical relevance, SICM lacks a unified definition and standardized diagnostic criteria, complicating early identification and treatment.

This affords the opportunity to reveal molecular principles that govern the pre-implantation stages of mammalian development. We leveraged a multipurpose allele for acute protein depletion and efficient immunoprecipitation to dissect the molecular functions of the chromatin repressor EHMT2, a candidate antagonist of the mESC-to-2CLC transition.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most advanced delivery system currently available for RNA therapeutics. Their development has accelerated since the success of Patisiran, the first siRNA-LNP therapeutic, and the mRNA vaccines that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Designing LNPs with specific targeting, high potency, and minimal side effects is crucial for their successful clinical use.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Recent reports suggest increased myocardial iNOS expression leads to excessive protein -nitrosylation, contributing to the pathophysiology of HFpEF. However, the relationship between NO bioavailability, dynamic regulation of protein -nitrosylation by trans- and de-nitrosylases, and HFpEF pathophysiology has not been elucidated. Here, we provide novel insights into the delicate interplay between NO bioavailability and protein -nitrosylation in HFpEF.

Introduction: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex condition characterized by metabolic dysfunction and myocardial lipotoxicity. The roles of PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) and peroxiredoxin-2 (Prdx2) in HFpEF pathogenesis remain unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the interaction between PINK1 and Prdx2 to mitigate cardiac diastolic dysfunction in HFpEF.
