Sudden cardiac death in young athletes: Literature review of molecular basis [PDF]
Intense athletic training and competition can rarely result in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite the introduction of pre-participation cardiovascular screening, especially among young competitive athletes, sport-related SCD remains a debated issue ...

Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy—Further Insight into the Clinical Spectrum of Desmoplakin Disease
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a familial heart muscle disease characterized by structural, electrical, and pathological abnormalities. Recognition of left ventricular (LV) involvement in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) has led ...

Differentiation-dependent glycosylation of cells in squamous cell epithelia detected by a mammalian lectin [PDF]
The squamous stratified epithelia contain a proliferative (harboring mitotic activity) and a differentiating compartment. Due to the potential of protein-carbohyd rate interactions to regulate cellular activities we introduced a mammalian lectin to cyto-

Loss of flotillin expression results in weakened desmosomal adhesion and Pemphigus vulgaris-like localisation of desmoglein-3 in human keratinocytes [PDF]
Desmosomes are adhesion plaques that mediate cell-cell adhesion in many tissues, including the epidermis, and generate mechanical resistance to tissues. The extracellular domains of desmosomal cadherin proteins, desmogleins and desmocollins, are required

Desmoplakin Cardiomyopathy: Myocarditis-Like Episodes. [PDF]
We report a case of a 21-year-old woman who presented with recurrent chest pain over a three-year period, initially attributed to myocarditis. She first presented with elevated troponin levels and myocardial oedema on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), consistent with acute myocarditis.

Clinical characteristics and risk stratification of desmoplakin cardiomyopathy [PDF]
AbstractAimsDesmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy is an increasingly recognized form of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. With a genotype-specific approach, we characterized the diagnosis, natural history, and risk for ventricular arrhythmia and heart failure in DSP cardiomyopathy.Methods and resultsWe followed 91 individuals [45 probands, 34% male, median age
