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) ...
Exercise enhances physical performance and reduces the risk of many disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia and cancer. Exercise characteristically incites an inflammatory response, notably in skeletal muscles. While some effector mechanisms have been identified, regul...
Increased protein acetylation is frequently observed in the failing heart, including in hearts with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the role of protein acetylation in cardiac metabolic impairments during the pathogenesis of HFpEF remains insufficiently investigate...
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...
