Why is functional #autophagy important for #cardiac health?
Abel Lab and collaborators shows that #autophagic flux controls NAD+ homeostasis in #cardiomyocytes, thereby preventing #mitochondrial dysfunction

Direct Cardiac Reprogramming: Current Status and Future Prospects

Advances in cellular reprogramming articulated the path for direct cardiac lineage conversion, bypassing the pluripotent state. Direct cardiac reprogramming attracts major attention because of the low or nil regenerative ability of cardiomyocytes, resulting in...

This is neat!
A paper in @eLife from Anne-Catherine Prats lab (U Toulouse) looking at #IRES regulation.
They show that #mRNA with IRES in #cardiomyocytes interactes with #lncRNA NEAT1 in nuclear paraspeckles, and suggest an assembly of an "IRESome" -with paraspeckle-related proteins - that regulates IRES-dependent translation (here - upon hypoxia).

Long non-coding RNA Neat1 and paraspeckle components are translational regulators in hypoxia

LncRNA Neat1, with paraspeckle proteins, controls translational induction of (lymph)angiogenic and cardioprotective factors by the IRES-dependent mechanism in mouse cardiomyocytes submitted to hypoxia.

A novel study we contributed to provides the first detailed analysis of 3D #chromatin organisation changes during the development of #endothelium, and how they correlate with gene expression regulations. The study also compares these dynamics with those we previously reported for #cardiomyocytes. Kudos Kris and Katie for spearheading this work! #UW #ISCRM #4DNucleome
