Joel was one of my first twitter follows when I started Glaucomflecken 10 years ago. I’ve learned so much from him, like how to say osmolality. Still working out what exactly it is, but at least I can pronounce it.

During his Presidents Award speach, @DGlaucomflecken talks about his experience and more importantly his wife's experience following his cardiac arrest. Advising people to show compassion to the co-survivors, the family.

Single-cell sequencing is giving researchers a much closer look at what is happening inside the heart. By examining gene activity cell by cell, scientists can uncover distinct populations, disease-related changes, and cellular interactions that traditional sequencing may miss. These insights are helping reshape how researchers understand heart failure, fibrosis, arrhythmias, and potential treatment targets. Read the full blog to learn what single-cell sequencing is revealing about the heart: cvrti.utah.edu/what-single-c… #SingleCellSequencing #CardiovascularResearch #HeartResearch

SGLT2 inhibitors activate pantothenate kinase in the human heart

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduce mortality in heart failure, but their pharmacological target remains unclear. In this study, we showed that SGLT2i directly activate pantot...

For more than 55 years, CVRTI has been advancing discoveries that have changed the way cardiovascular disease is understood and treated. Founded in 1969, CVRTI is one of the nation's oldest cardiovascular research institutes. From contributing to the development of the first artificial heart to uncovering the genetic basis of long QT arrhythmias, pioneering cardiac mapping technologies, and advancing myocardial recovery research, CVRTI's impact continues to shape cardiovascular medicine today. Learn more about the research and people driving the future of heart health at CVRTI. @RobinShawCVRTI #CardiovascularResearch #HeartHealth #MedicalInnovation

Great couple of days in Boston presenting the Priscilla White Lectures - a series with remarkable legacy- at @JoslinDiabetes and Medicine Grand Rounds at @BrighamWomens. Important moment: we are finally moving from descriptive pathology to actionable disease biology through spatial and single-cell multi-omics.
