Pleasant surprise to see this in my feed…but I still have not read Infinite Jest. Count me in the Gen X minority. Nice read, Tom.

Temporal Dynamics in Murine Cardiac Transcriptome Following Myocardial Infarction - PubMed Temporal Dynamics in Murine Cardiac Transcriptome Following Myocardial Infarction

🫀 After MI, the heart is anything but static.
Our new @CircRes paper maps temporal, sex-specific, cell-level transcriptomic changes in the murine heart following MI.
A resource for the field.

On Monday morning at #AHA25, Ben Doelling, a graduate student in the Baba lab, will present his second digital moderated poster of the conference on the beneficial effects of beta-alanine supplementation in HFpEF #cardiosky

On Sunday afternoon at #AHA25, Ben Doelling, a graduate student in the Baba lab, will present a digital moderated poster on the role of histidyl dipeptides in heart failure. #cardiosky

On Saturday afternoon at #AHA25, the newly minted Dr. Mamata Chaudhari, will present a digital moderated poster on her thesis studies related to the protective effects of carnosine on muscle function during heart failure. #cardiosky

If you want to keep up with all the happenings of the Center Faculty and Trainees, and all of the exciting science at #AHA25, keep up with Drs. Collins and Gibb, early-career faculty in the Center, who will be serving as social media ambassadors for the conference #cardiosky

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Mamata Chaudhari, who successfully defended her PhD this morning. We are proud of your hard work and accomplishments. In January, Mamata will join the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Kirk at the University of Chicago as a postdoctoral fellow. #cardiosky

Today, we have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Anthony Rosenzweig, Director of the Stanley and Judith Frankel Institute for Heart and Brain Health at the University of Michigan. He will be presenting recent work from his laboratory examining age-related pathways in heart failure. #cardiosky

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Brittany Reynolds, who successfully defended her PhD this morning. We are proud of you and look forward to all the great things you will do in your upcoming postdoctoral studies. #cardiosky

Yesterday, we celebrated the recent success of Dr. Marcin Wysoczynski, who was awarded a five-year NIH R01 grant to study how specific types of neutrophils shape the wound healing response after MI. This award marks the start of a new chapter in our understanding of the failing heart.

New publication from the Sansbury lab. This study shows that the ALX/FPR2 signaling axis is necessary for red blood cell homeostasis and that LXA4 activation is important for red pulp macrophage response to acute erythroid stress.

A key Image from this publication, led by Collin Wells, a former PhD student of the Hill lab, made the September cover of JMCC www.jmcc-online.com/article/S002...

Next week, we will welcome Dr. Mattia Quattrocelli, Assistant Professor from Cincinnati Children's, to our weekly Center conference. Dr. Quattrocelli will present recent work from his laboratory focused on the role of the Carnosine Clock in Aging. We are looking forward to his visit! #cardiosky

Can’t wait!

Congratulations to Ben Doelling, a biochemistry and Molecular Genetics PhD student in the laboratory of Dr. Shahid Baba, for receiving an NIH F31 Fellowship. This project will examine the Biochemical Silencing of Maladaptive Inflammation in Heart Failure. #cardiosky

Flyer from University of Louisville's Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute seeking adult volunteers for a research study about the impact of urban greenness on stress in humans. Healthy adults based in Louisville who are interested in participating should contact the Envirome Institute at envirome@louisville.edu or 502-215-3786.

If you live in Louisville, you might be able to help us investigate the impact of urban green spaces on human health.

We're looking for healthy adult volunteers between the ages of 18-75.

If you're interested in learning more about the study, contact us at envirome@louisville.edu.

Our 5th Annual Trainee Day was a huge success! We packed it with professional development: pitches, posters, interviews, and a "Shark Tank" scientific pitch. Congrats to all winners: Brittany Reynolds, Ilaria Ferrari, Jonah Stephan, Jamila Makhloufi, Caitlin Howard, and the winning pitch team!

Heading to the poster session on day 2 of #BCVS25? Interested in sex differences? Caitlin Howard, from the laboratory of Dr. Steven Jones, will present her second poster of the week, highlighting sex-dependent differences in cardiac fibroblast biology. #cardiosky @stevenpjones.bsky.social

The second poster presentation from the Center, to be given on the opening day of #BCVS25, will be presented by Caitlin Howard, a PhD student in the lab of Dr. Steven Jones. She will discuss the impact of fibroblast-derived hyaluronan in ventricular remodeling. #cardiosky @stevenpjones.bsky.social

Next up on the opening day at #BCVS25, we have three Center poster presentations. The first of these will be presented by Ilaria Ferrari, an MD/PhD student, in Dr. Steve Jones’s lab. She will present on the impact of voluntary exercise on post-MI remodeling. #cardiosky @stevenpjones.bsky.social

For those making a list of talks and posters to attend at #BCVS25 next week, the Center's first presentation will be delivered by Dr. Collins, who will present on metabolic changes in the maternal heart and the implications for pregnancy-associated cardiovascular disease. #cardiosky

Man banned after stealing Pride flag from Car Wash in Waterdown A car wash in Waterdown had one of its pride flags ripped off a door last Sunday by a customer who said they were offended by the LGBTQ+ symbol.

If you are in the Waterdown, ON area, stop in for a car wash & support a business that doesn't back down from the fragile homophobes.

What better way to celebrate #Pride2025 than to patronize businesses that stand up against hate?

Ever wondered how cardiac substrate utilization impacts exercise capacity? If so, check out this new paper in Circ Res, led by Kara Gouwens in the Center. This work shows that cardiac ketone body oxidation is required for hyperketonemia-induced increases in exercise performance. #cardiosky
