New information on how estrogen impacts the heart: doi.org/10.1172/JCI201385 Using iPCs and two rodent models, Ryan A. Moon @ryan_moon3 Kurt W. Prins @kurt_prins & team @MedUnivSC find estrogen exerts cardioprotective effects by regulating microtubules. The image: iPSC-CM showing microtubule structure after treatment with estrogen. @the_asci #microtubules

Excited to see this one out. jci.org/articles/view/201385. Estrogen muzzles microtubules to protect the RV! Huge thanks to @TimLahm for helping use get this one across the line! @jclinicalinvest made this a wonderful experience! @ResearchMUSC @MUSC_Cardiology

Do you want to know the cellular and molecular determinant of progressive RV dysfunction? @Jenna_Mendelson caps off her PhD thesis to define them in a porcine model: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

@jenna_mendelson et al found #GP130 inhibition enhances #RV function in a model of RV dysfunction. Learn how multi-omics analyses highlight the #inflammatory, #vascular, & #metabolic mechanisms counteracted by GP130 inhibition at ahajrnls.org/4oO6DV2 @kurt_prins

My thesis paper is out in @CircRes! We did a little bit of everything in this one: single-nucleus RNA seq, electron/confocal microscopy, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics - all in large animals to show how GP130 antagonism improves RV function in pigs. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…

Led my @MadelynJBlake, our latest pre-print in which we performed a multi-tissue, multi-omic, multi-species, and multi-continent evaluation of BCAA metabolism in PAH and liver dysfunction. @ResearchMUSC @MUSC_Cardiology @MUSC_COM biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/….

It's the end of an era! I'm going to miss being able to see you almost every day. I am excited to see all of the amazing things that you will do at @MUSC_Cardiology! It's not goodbye, it's see you later. @kurt_prins @RyanTedfordMD @thenappanMD @UMNPHProgram @UMN_DCVM @LilleheiHrt

Thank you @CircHF for the opportunity to share our work on how modulating the gut microbiome may be an approach to enhance RV function in PAH. Grateful to the entire research team for their help on this project. @ATS_PC @3CPRCouncil @PVRI @GiessenPh @RyanTedfordMD @GMFHx
Lactobacillus supplementation combats inflammation and augments RV function in PAH via the GP130-microtubule axis @SashaPrisco @jenna_mendelson @MadelynJBlak @kurt_prins @LilleheiHrt @UMN_DCVM #AHAJournals ahajrnls.org/3SfzPpD

Finally across the finish line! Excited to share with the community very soon @SashaPrisco's work showing modulating the micro/mycobiome with Lactobacillus has anti-inflammatory effects and combats rodent RV failure. @3CPRCouncil
