Ambient temperature profoundly influences organismal metabolism, physiology, and disease. While cold exposure is a well-recognized risk factor for the onset of myocardial infarction (MI), its impact on the injured heart after MI remains unexplored. Here,&nb...
Heightened sterile inflammation and mitochondrial metabolic dysfunction drives the pathophysiology of heart failure in ischemic cardiomyopathy. Yet, the transcriptional regulators within cardiomyocytes driving crosstalk between inflammation and energy metabolism remain ill-defined. Here we identi...
Cardiac fibrosis, characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in the myocardium, is a critical target for heart disease treatments. Pw1 (paternally expressed gene 3) is an imprinted gene expressed from the paternally allele, and de novo purine biosynthesis (DNPB) is a crucial...
Exercise promotes physiological cardiomyocyte growth and protects against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the heart. The molecular mechanism by which exercise benefits cardiac metabolism and function remains largely unknown. Using a genetically encoded fluorescent indicator, we found that ex...
