Found in translation: Using single-molecule imaging, we show that ERK signaling controls where protein translation happens during hypertrophic stimulation in #cardiomyocytes —revealing a dynamic, localized response.
Erlich & colleagues uncover a dynamic, location-based control of #protein synthesis in heart cells that drives #cardiac growth. Learn more at ahajrnls.org/3W5JJPG @itaie21 @KehatLab

Huge congrats to Dr. Jop van Berlo (@UMNews) and Dr. Silvia Guatimosim (UFMG) on receiving the @American_Heart International Visiting Professor Award. They’re combining forces to tackle the complexities of cardiac remodeling and molecular cardiology. #Cardionerds #UMNresearch

Replying to @Ramihdd
@Ramihdd & colleagues by charting the heart cell #proteome & using #CRISPR for precise validation, identified a key protein that sustains the heart #proteostasis & preserves #mitochondrial protein levels. Find out more at ahajrnls.org/3NFIQJG @KehatLab

Finally out: We used CRISPRa/i to show that virtually ANY genomic site can become regulatory for cardiac genes—even without accessibility or active marks. TF recruitment remodeled chromatin & changed expression up to 70 kb away. doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2025.114040

1/ Can #Axolotls teach us new things about #HeartRegeneration? A great collaboration between @Tanaxolotl and Miguel Torres lab. We’re happy to share our new work in which we ask how axolotls regenerate their hearts and could they help mammals with that? doi.org/10.64898/2025.12.21.…
