Excited to share our new paper in Epigenetics! We examined H4K20me2 and its regulating enzymes in both mouse and human #HeartFailure samples. A meaningful step toward understanding #epigenetic roles in #heartdisease. Grateful to the #team! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Expression profiles of histone H4K20 methylation and its associated enzymes in mouse cardiac...

Histone H4K20 methylation is critical in regulating the cell cycle, DNA damage response, and gene repression in proliferating cells. However, its role in the heart remains poorly understood. Our pr...

If you are looking to join a scientific lab, consider joining @KatsuFunai lab @UUtah. Katsu is just fantastic mentor and his lab's research focuses on molecular biology of lipids and mitochondiral energetics in context of metabolic diseases.
Katsu Funai@KatsuFunai7 Aug 2023
We have new positions in the lab, if you want. You can send me your CV if you are interested, or not. You don't have to if you don't want to. Maybe. funai.u2m2.utah.edu/

Check out our newest #scientific contribution on SMYD1a's regulation of #mitochondrial energetics and function to protect the #heart from #ischemic injury!
Basic Research in Cardiology@BasicResCardiol22 May 2023
Cardioprotection by epigenetic upregulation of mitochondrial supercomplex formation. link.springer.com/article/10…
SMYD1a overexpression leads to the formation of ETC supercomplexes and more dense and narrower cristae that results in increased mitochondrial respiration and ATP production through which it ultimately reduces ischemic injury and pathological remodeling.
