Cronos Titin is Expressed in Human Cardiomyocytes and Necessary for Normal Sarcomere Function.

open access: yesCirculation, 2019
Background: The giant sarcomere protein titin is important in both heart health and disease. Mutations in the gene encoding for titin, TTN, are the leading known cause of familial dilated cardiomyopathy.

Redox Signaling and Cardiac Sarcomeres [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Oxidative stress is common in many clinically important cardiac disorders, including ischemia/reperfusion, diabetes, and hypertensive heart disease. Oxidative stress leads to derangements in pump function due to changes in the expression or function of proteins that regulate intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis.

The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating

Sarcomeric dysfunction in heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2007
Sarcomeric dysfunction plays a central role in reduced cardiac pump function in heart failure. This review focuses on the alterations in sarcomeric proteins in diseased myocardium that range from altered isoform expression to post-translational protein changes such as proteolysis and phosphorylation. Recent studies in animal models of heart failure and
