A team from #mdcBerlin, PrinsesMáximaCentrum & DZHK Germany has revealed new findings about evolutionarily young miniproteins in Molecular Cell: mdc-berlin.de/news/press/evo… @HubnerLab, @s_heesch, J Ruiz Orera, Jana Schulz, EleonoraA, PrinsesMáximaCentrum, @vanHeeschLab, @berlinnovation

I am very happy that I can finally share our work on #RPL3L that was published in Nucleic Acids Res yesterday! It’s been quite a journey; head over to the link if you want to know more about #RPL3L in the heart, and here is some behind the scenes:

Der renommierte Kardiologe Professor Hugo A. Katus erhält den Verdienstorden des Landes Baden-Württemberg. Zudem wurde ihm die höchste Auszeichnung der deutschen Herzmedizin verliehen Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie #BaWü #Kardiologie tinyurl.com/2ydosnvq

#ArticlesInPress: mTORC1 inhibition impairs activation of the unfolded protein response and induces cell death during ER stress in #cardiomyocytes (Hofmann et al) ow.ly/cysr50OLKnI Shirin Doroudgar @ChrlsHofmann Uni Heidelberg #mTORC1 #ER stress #ATF6


Very happy about our newest publication in Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology about the role of the #m6A reader protein #Ythfdf2 in the myocardium. Congrats to Vivi and thanks to all collaborators! Tobias Jakobi Joerg Heineke Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

BIG NEWS: Helmholtz has decided to establish the Helmholtz Institute for Translational AngioCardioScience (HI-TAC) as a branch of the Max Delbrück Center on the campus of Uni Heidelberg. This marks a new era for CV research in Germany! Many new exciting jobs (helmholtz.de/newsroom/artik…)



The newest publication from our lab: Markus' work on using base editors to correct mutations in the cardiac splice factor RBM20 which cause dilated cardiomyopathy was published in Nature Communications today!🎉 nature.com/articles/s4146…

We are looking forward to our next invited seminar by Leslie Leinwand from CU Boulder 🦬 on July, 12th at 16:30 in the AZIII #HCM #Sarcomere #CRC1550
