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...
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 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...
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) ...
