Open AccessAssessment of left ventricular tissue mitochondrial bioenergetics in patients with stable coronary artery disease
Recurrent myocardial ischemia can lead to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). In this observational cohort study, we assessed for chronic metabolomic and transcrip...

Open AccessSpatially resolved multiomics of human cardiac niches
The function of a cell is defined by its intrinsic characteristics and its niche: the tissue microenvironment in which it dwells. Here we combine single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data to discover cellul...

Decoding Covid-19 with the SARS-CoV-2 Genome
SARS-CoV-2, the recently emerged coronavirus (CoV) that is responsible for the current global pandemic Covid-19, first appeared in late 2019 in Wuhan, China. Here, we summarise details of the SARS-CoV-2 genome...

Id2 is a retinoblastoma protein target and mediates signalling by Myc oncoproteins
In mammalian cells, Id proteins coordinate proliferation and differentiation. Id2 is a dominant-negative antagonist of basic helix–loop–helix transcription factors and proteins of the retinoblastoma (Rb) famil...
