Cardiovasc Res . 2021 Oct; 118(12):2665-2687. PMID: 34609500
Aims: Mammalian models have been instrumental in investigating adult heart function and human disease. However, electrophysiological differences with human hearts and high costs motivate the need for non-mammalian models. The...

Gentile A, Bensimon-Brito A, Priya R, Maischein H, Piesker J, Guenther S, et al.
Elife . 2021 Jun; 10. PMID: 34152269
The transcription factor Snai1, a well-known regulator of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, has been implicated in early cardiac morphogenesis as well as in cardiac valve formation. However, a role for Snai1 in...

Boezio G, Bensimon-Brito A, Piesker J, Guenther S, Helker C, Stainier D
Elife . 2020 Sep; 9. PMID: 32990594
The development of the cardiac outflow tract (OFT), which connects the heart to the great arteries, relies on a complex crosstalk between endothelial (ECs) and smooth muscle (SMCs) cells. Defects...

Dev Biol . 2020 Sep; 469:54-67. PMID: 32971120
Tie1 is a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in endothelial cells, where it modulates Angiopoietin/Tie2 signaling. Previous studies have shown that mouse Tie1 mutants exhibit severe cardiovascular defects; however, much remains...

PLoS Pathog . 2018 May; 14(5):e1007048. PMID: 29718991
The exceptional toxicity of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) is mediated by high avidity binding to complex polysialogangliosides and intraluminal segments of synaptic vesicle proteins embedded in the presynaptic membrane. One peculiarity...
