Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked recessively inherited disorder caused by variants in the TAFAZZIN gene. The pathogenic variants lead to impaired conversion of monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) into mature phospholipid cardiolipin (CL). The accumulation of MLCL and mature CL deficiency is a diag...
Background: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is characterized by impaired contractility and high mortality. Dysregulation of intracellular ion cycling underlies the decline in cardiac contractility. Modulation of cardiac Na+/H+ and Ca2+ handling is consider...

Pathological cardiac remodeling in response to sustained pressure overload is a pivotal process in the progression of heart failure (HF), yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood, limiting therapeutic development. Here, we identify serine/threonine kinase 39 (STK39) ...
