Congrats to Dr. Francisco Alvarado UW-Madison Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, who was accepted into the UW School of Medicine and Public Health Centennial Scholars/Centennial Clinicians Program.  His research focuses on calcium-dependent arrhythmias and structural cardiomyopathies. ow.ly/1Sfb50K1gof

CMARP presentations are back-and so is the pizza! What more could a scientist want? Dr. Corey Anderson is giving a talk this week discussing a recent paper by Willow Coyote-Maestas and others at Minnesota that relates to a lot of what we look at here in CMARP. Very cool!

The Presentations of the Day: a thread 🧵

CMARP members and fellow 8th floor of WIMR staff: There will be a halloween party this Wednesday at 4:30pm in the big conference room at the end of the hall (room 8571)! We'll have some decorations that are scarier than a mycoplasma contamination...and snacks! see you then!🎃🧪🧙‍♀️

In case you missed it-CMARP PI and UW Health Doctor Lee Eckhardt stopped by WKOW 27 News this morning to chat with them this morning about sudden cardiac death, particularly in younger athletes. Watch here!🫀⛹🏻‍♀️⬇️ wkow.com/news/ask-a-doc…

A letter to Santa, by TwistedDoodles newscientist.com/article/0-twis…

Delighted to finally share this story, years in the making, about how #palmitoylation of the pore-forming alpha subunit regulates the voltage sensitive Ca channel Ca(v)1.2 in the heart. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Dr Will Fuller (Will Fuller) and team proposed that #palmitoylation of the pore-forming α1C subunit of Ca(v)1.2 provides a means to regulate the voltage ⚡ sensitivity of voltage-activated Ca2+ channels in #ExcitableCells. 📎 bit.ly/3YOZneG

#BPS2023 was nothing short of amazing!!! Super grateful to Biophysical Society for the SRAA opportunity and I’m excited to be one of the awardees. Special thanks to Black In Biophysics for organizing the #JUSTB poster session and symposium. Looking forward to #BPS2024 in Philadelphia!

Thank you and Susanne Laux very much for the great article about our research! Sex differences exist and we are not scared of including sex-related variables in our research! Thanks to the DZHK Germany, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin , and Max Delbrück Center for the support!

Incredibly proud of Saba and all the work she has achieved since she joined us!

Welcome to our new ID Fellow Dr. Christopher Gelbmann!

Delighted to share this, a VERY long time in the making. The redox protein peroxiredoxin 6 uses its catalytic cysteine to depalmitoylate the Na pump regulator phospholemman. Important implications for control of #palmitoylation and #depalmitoylation. A new class of thioesterase?

A PhD is neither a marathon nor a sprint. It's this:

Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is difficult to treat w/out a mechanistic understanding of the disease. Dr. Louise Reilly, PhD, et al outline a new paradigm for identifying functional & molecular targets for #arrhythmia suppression in pts w/ IVF jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…
