JMCC Plus Editor-in-Chief Davor Pavlovic presented an award to Rong Tian for her work as JMCC Editor.

Our journal reception at #ISHR2025 included recognition of Rong Tian for her service as Editor in Chief of JMCC. Her term ends in December 2025. Congratulations Rong for your excellent work on the journal!

Great progress being made to understand mechanisms contributing to #HFpEF

Fantastic talks from @rebeccahritchie.bsky.social & others at the #ishr2025 meeting in Nara

Great opening ceremony of the #ISHR2025 XXV World Congress in Nara. Excited to discuss science with colleagues of the Cardiovascular field during this ISHR meeting.

Good morning #ISHR2025! Stop by our booth in the exhibition area to learn more about JMCC and @jmccplus.bsky.social.

Hope to see you in Nara!

PP2A-B56α is a key determinant of cardiac protein phosphorylation and functional responses to β-adrenergic signalling B56α is a protein phosphatase 2 A (PP2A) regulatory subunit which modulates the heart's inotropic response to acute β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimu…

Looking for some weekend reading or on your way to the
ISHR meeting in Japan?

Check out the recent work from Alican Guran,
@k8weeks.bsky.social et al. investigating the role of B56α as a mediator of cardiac responses to β-AR stimulation!

Star Scientist – Dr Zijing Zhou - Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute Dr Zijing Zhou’s PIEZO ion channel research may be the key to managing not only cardiac diseases, but osteoporosis, obesity and inflammatory diseases.

Dr Zijing Zhou’s drive to understand the fundamental biological processes at work within the heart has led him to study ion channels that may be the key to managing not only cardiac diseases, but also osteoporosis, obesity and inflammatory diseases: www.victorchang.edu....

Did you know heart muscle cells can have multiple nuclei? (See the pic on my profile for an example!)

Within each nucleus, there can also be multiple sets of chromosomes (polyploidy). 🧬🧬🧬🧬

This new paper in @jmccardiology.bsky.social describes a new method for assessing ploidy in cardiomyocytes. 🔬

Work in our April issue offers a detailed cardioFISH protocol for #cardiomyocyte nuclear ploidy assessment.

Available open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.yj...

In our April issue, Orlowski and colleagues describe for the first time that IRBIT plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of the heart.

Dr Kate Weeks : Find an Expert : The University of Melbourne Dr Weeks leads the Cardiac Signalling & Metabolism Group in the Department of Anatomy & Physiology and the Baker Department of Cardiometabolic Health at the University of Melbourne. The goal of her research is to identify novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases by investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac remodelling and dysfunction in preclinical models of heart failure.
