    TMAO, a seafood-derived molecule, produces diuresis and reduces mortality in heart failure rats

    Marta Gawrys-Kopczynska, Marek Konop ... Marcin Ufnal
    Trimethylamine-oxide (TMAO), a molecule present in seafood, reduces mortality and exerts beneficial effects on the circulatory system in heart failure rats.

    Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling directs cardiomyocyte movement toward the midline during heart tube assembly

    Joshua Bloomekatz, Reena Singh ... Deborah Yelon
    Studies in zebrafish and mouse implicate the PDGF signaling pathway in the communication between the endoderm and the myocardium that drives medial myocardial movement and thereby initiates cardiac morphogenesis.

    MKK6 deficiency promotes cardiac dysfunction through MKK3-p38γ/δ-mTOR hyperactivation

    Rafael Romero-Becerra, Alfonso Mora ... Guadalupe Sabio
    Lack of cardiac MKK6 results in premature death with the development of heart hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction in aging.

    Optogenetic manipulation of Gq- and Gi/o-coupled receptor signaling in neurons and heart muscle cells

    Hanako Hagio, Wataru Koyama ... Masahiko Hibi
    Animal G-protein-coupled bistable rhodopsins can regulate Gq- and Gi-mediated signaling in a light-dependent manner in neurons and cardiomyocytes, making them useful for analyzing the roles of GPCR signaling in vivo.

    Hemodynamic-mediated endocardial signaling controls in vivo myocardial reprogramming

    Manuel Gálvez-Santisteban, Danni Chen ... Neil C Chi
    The heart is able to sense and adaptively respond to environmental changes due to cardiac injury through flow-mediated mechanisms that regulate cardiomyocyte reprogramming and regeneration.

    Deciphering the neural signature of human cardiovascular regulation

    Jorge Manuel, Natalia Färber ... Florian Beissner
    At least three hypothalamic subsystems are involved in cardiovascular regulation in humans.

    Ingestible pills reveal gastric correlates of emotions

    Giuseppina Porciello, Alessandro Monti ... Salvatore Maria Aglioti
    Direct measures of inner gastrointestinal signals via ingestible capsules highlight the role of stomach pH in shaping human feelings of disgust, fear and happiness.

    Precardiac deletion of Numb and Numblike reveals renewal of cardiac progenitors

    Lincoln T Shenje, Peter Andersen ... Chulan Kwon
    Cardiac progenitors remain undifferentiated and expansive in the second pharyngeal arch that serves as a microenvironment, and Numb and Numblike are required for their renewal.

    Active tactile discrimination is coupled with and modulated by the cardiac cycle

    Alejandro Galvez-Pol, Pavandeep Virdee ... James Kilner
    Human subjects actively adjust the acquisition of sense data based on how their bodily cycles alter their senses, i.e., sensing tactile stimuli for longer periods when concurrent physiological signals are present vs. sensing for shorter periods when these are quiescent.

    Drift and termination of spiral waves in optogenetically modified cardiac tissue at sub-threshold illumination

    Sayedeh Hussaini, Vishalini Venkatesan ... Stefan Luther
    Excitability gradients in heart tissue, imposed by structured sub-threshold optogenetic stimulation, induce drift and termination of spiral waves, thus providing an explanation for successful optogenetic defibrillation in small animal hearts.
