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...
BACKGROUND: Imbalances in cardiac branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism and mitochondrial homeostasis are implicated in the onset and development of heart failure. However, the mechanisms triggering the downregulation of cardiac BCAA metabolism in heart failure remain unclear. Here, we iden...
INTRODUCTION: Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common cardiac condition in adult dogs. The disease progresses over several years and affected dogs may develop congestive heart failure (HF). Research has shown that myocardial metabolism is altered in cardiac dise...
Functional stem cell-derived heart models offer new avenues for preclinical, animal-free physiological assessment of drug cardiotoxicity. Yet, comprehensive molecular profiling in these models remains limited, leaving key metabolic drivers of cardiotoxicity unexplored.
Here, we leveraged an...
