    Patient-specific primary and pluripotent stem cell-derived stromal cells recapitulate key aspects of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy

    Primary cardiac mesenchymal stromal cells (C-MSCs) can promote the aberrant remodeling of cardiac tissue that characterizes arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) by differentiating into adipocytes and myofibrobl...

    Impaired Plakophilin-2 in obesity breaks cell cycle dynamics to breed adipocyte senescence

    Plakophilin-2 (PKP2) is a key component of desmosomes, which, when defective, is known to promote the fibro-fatty infiltration of heart muscle. Less attention has been given to its role in adipose tissue. We r...
