Electrophysiological effects of stretch‐activated ion channels: a systematic computational characterization

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 602, Issue 18, Page 4585-4604, 15 September 2024.
Abstract figure legend Stretch‐activated ion channels: clinical relevance and in silico characterization of their pro‐arrhythmic effects. Top: an impact on the chest could result in ventricular fibrillation followed by sudden cardiac death. At the cell level, such impact results in mechanical stretch of the cardiomyocytes, and therefore, in the opening

A knock‐in allele of Hand2 expressing Dre recombinase

genesis, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2024.
Summary HAND2 is a basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor with diverse functions during development. To facilitate the investigation of genetic and functional diversity among Hand2‐expressing cells in the mouse, we have generated Hand2Dre, a knock‐in allele expressing Dre recombinase. To avoid disrupting Hand2 function, the Dre cDNA is inserted at
