Clinical and molecular characterization of a cardiac ryanodine receptor founder mutation causing catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [PDF]
Background Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a difficult-to-diagnose cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). We identified a family of 1400 individuals with multiple cases of CPVT, including 36 SCDs during youth.

Astrocyte Lipid Droplet Dynamics Orchestrate Neurological Disorders and Therapeutic Horizons
This review examines astrocyte lipid droplet (LD) metabolism in neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, stroke, epilepsy, and glioma. It analyzes regulatory mechanisms governing LD formation, transport, and degradation in astrocytes, highlighting their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets through integrative multiomics ...

ADENYLYL CYCLASE TYPE 9: REGULATION AND CARDIAC FUNCTION [PDF]
Abnormalities in cardiac stress signaling underlie a number of cardiovascular diseases (e.g. arrhythmias and heart failure). Cardiac stress signaling pathways normally integrate signals from the sympathetic nervous system to promote efficient contraction

Concerted action of human chorionic gonadotropin and norepinephrine on intracellular-free calcium in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
Luteal cells are known to possess receptors for LH/hCG and receptors of the beta-adrenergic type. Interactions of specific agonists with either receptor lead to the activation of adenylate cyclase and subsequently to an increase of cAMP.

Deciphering the panvascular immune landscape of atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis (AS) involves inflammation in major arteries and can cause severe cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes, yet disease patterns vary significantly between arteries, complicating diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we integrated transcriptomic and single‐cell RNA sequencing data from AS plaques across five key arterial ...

Alterations of cAMP-dependent signaling in dystrophic skeletal muscle
Autonomic regulation processes in striated muscles are largely mediated by cAMP/PKA-signaling. In order to achieve specificity of signaling its spatial-temporal compartmentation plays a critical role. We discuss here how specificity of cAMP/PKA-signaling

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.
