Email from last week on my student Ike Emerson’s work that I think I will keep. “Your studies of the X-linked miRs regulating male/female heart physiology sounds cool! I look forward to seeing it Circulation Research.
Best,
Victor”

Great position at a great lab.
🚨 Job alert!
Are you interested in heart development? Join us at @IdrmOxford! Unravel the cellular & molecular mechanisms of mouse heart development, focusing on cell-cell niches, while integrating with comparative studies in human and zebrafish.

The cherry on top for our collaboration between postdoc Wei Shi and the Seidman Lab, in which Wei constructed a mouse model of a single point mutation in human CHD4 and then introduce ADAMTS1 to rectify the cardiac compaction defect!

Cover: IHC on an E18.5 mouse heart (green) with a missense mutation in human #CHD4. Dramatic #trabecular (red) compaction at the right #ventricles, and robust proliferation (silver) in the #heart; nuclei-blue.

Congratulations to Wei for another elegant study going from human disease to mouse model to rescuing aspects of the phenotype!
Shi et al developed a mouse model based on a human mutation that causes fatal congenital heart defects. Learn more about possible therapeutic targets for treating the congenital heart disease, #LVNC at ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…

Thanks again Art!
❤️Our April issue is out!❤️ Read about #nanomedicines in CVD, #SexChromosome mechanisms in cardiac development and disease, why #cardiomyocytes redifferentiation matters in cardiac repair, how GPV control of #fibrin, and more! nature.com/natcardiovascres/…
