Cardiomyopathy is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Membrane instability, leading to intracellular calcium (Ca2+) mishandling and overload, causes myocyte death and subsequent fibrosis in DMD …

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a state of inappropriately sustained inflammation, suggesting the loss of normal immunosuppressive mechanisms. Regulatory T-lymphocytes (Tregs) are considered key suppressors of immune responses; however, their role in HF …

Rationale Despite advances in pharmacotherapy, heart failure still incurs significant morbidity and mortality. Stimulating antibodies directed against the secondextracellular loop of the human ß1-adrenergic receptor (anti-ß1EC2) cause myocyte damage and …

When the heart is subjected to an increased workload, mechanical stretch together with neurohumoral stimuli activate the “fetal gene program” and induce cardiac hypertrophy to optimize output. Due to a lack of effective methods/models to quantify and …
