Abstract figure legend Mitochondrial SK channel enhancement reduces cardiac arrhythmia trigger. Spontaneous sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release via hyperactive RyR2s underlies an increased arrhythmia trigger, promoting early and delayed afterdepolarizations during stress. Hyperactive RyR2s causes rise in cytosolic [Ca2+] during diastole. Clearance

Temporal switching and cell‐to‐cell variability in Ca2+ release activity in mammalian cells
Genetically identical cells in a uniform external environment can exhibit different phenotypes, which are often masked by conventional measurements that average over cell populations.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activation in Cerebelar Purkinje Cells as Substrate for Adaptive Timing of the Classicaly Conditioned Eye Blink Response [PDF]
To understand how the cerebellum adaptively times the classically conditioned nictitating membrane response (NMR), a model of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) second messenger system in cerebellar Purkinje cells is constructed.

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

The disease mutation A77V in Ryanodine receptor RyR2 induces changes in energy conduction pathways in the protein [PDF]
Energetically responsive residues of the 217 amino acid N-terminal domain of the cardiac Ryanodine receptor RyR2 are identified by a simple elastic net model. These residues lie along a hydrogen bonded path through the protein.

Selective RyR2 inhibition reduces arrhythmia susceptibility in human cardiac slices
Abstract figure legend ent‐Vert selectively inhibits RyR2‐mediated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ leak and prevents triggered activity in human cardiac slices. A, in human ventricular slices exposed to β‐adrenergic stimulation with Iso and RyR2 sensitization with caffeine, RyR2 channels become hyperactive, leading to Ca2+ sarcoplasmic leak and ...

Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential of DJ‐1 in Skeletal Muscle Homeostasis and Disease
DJ‐1 protein functions as a redox‐sensing guardian in skeletal muscle by coordinating antioxidant defense, mitochondrial homeostasis, metabolic adaptation, and anti‐atrophy signaling. Enhancing its function holds promise as a potential therapeutic strategy for muscle atrophy, ALS, and metabolic myopathies.
