Grateful to have worked with such a dedicated team in the @AranyLab and @MarguliesLab to bring this discovery to fruition. And thanks @SarnoffCardio for all your support!
We've not understood why SGLT2 drugs (like empagliflozin, Jardiance) have marked protective heart benefit. Today @ScienceMagazine a mechanism unraveled for improving cardiac metabolism and fuel efficiency science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

In KETO-HFpEF, we integrated CPET, echo, lung US, tonometry, metabolites, isotope tracer, & leg MRI. Ketone ester didn't ⬆️ exercise, despite ⬇️filling pressure & glucose use at rest/exercise Simpub #ACC25 #JACCHF 🙏 #PZamani @MarguliesLab &team @PennCardiology @DukeHeartCenter

We think this one is groundbreaking: Do you wonder how #SGLT2 inhibitors protect from heart failure? We show that #empagliflozen directly activates PANK1, rate-limiting for CoA synthesis, in human hearts. You read it here first! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Small molecules that inhibit vasohibins and alpha-tubulin #detyrosination can promote myocardial relaxation and counteract heart muscle cell stiffness in a rat model of #HeartFailure with preserved ejection fraction. @MarguliesLab @Prosser scim.ag/7Nf

Can we "drug" microtubule modifications to lower cardiac stiffness and improve function in #HFpEF? Out now in @ScienceTM , w/ long time collabs in @MarguliesLab 1/5 tinyurl.com/ynn6r2mz

Excited about our latest work in @JMCCPlus showing colchicine improves diastolic performance in myocardial slices. Congrats @EmmaleighHancoc and thanks to Brad Palmer, @IonOptix , @UVMLarnerMed , and @uvmcvri for making this possible! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
