Welcome to #EMBOCardioBiology 🙌🎉 Hope you will enjoy the next 4 days packed with brilliant sessions about cardiovascular research. The conference was opened by Johannes Backs followed by the keynote from Christine Mummery about hiPSC models.

Lunch panel discussion ‘Closing the gap between academia and industry’ at #EMBOCardioBiology

Spectacular turnout and discussion EMBL Events #EMBOCardiobiology, Johannes Backs! Such a privilege learning and presenting to this interactive group (and also seeing old friends). I’ll keep coming back to this one!

Impressions of Day 4 of #EMBOCardioBiology 📸 The conference ended with keynote speaker Eric N. Olson Eric N. Olson on genetic correction of heart and muscle disease and Johannes Backs awarded the prizes for best posters 🎉🏆

I am humbled and so pleased that cardiovascular world experts came to Heidelberg this week to the 1st International CRC1550 Meeting to discuss science with our trainees. High quality meeting which needs to be repeated in 2026. #CRC1550

My mind is racing with excitement. We had the inaugural ‘The new Cardiobiology meeting’ at EMBL Heidelberg. Thanks to EMBO for support. Thanks to all participants onsite and virtually for making this possible. #EMBOCardioBiology

First DZG Heidelberg-Mannheim Day was success. Cross-discipline discussions will boost health research in Germany. Thanks to DZIF in particular Stephan Urban for organizing this first meeting. #DZHK, #DKTK, #DZIF, #DZL, #DZPG and #DZD

I am thrilled to announce the release of our initial preprint showcasing the involvement of resident macrophages and cardiomyocytes in ECM remodeling, facilitating cardiomyocyte migration, and promoting heart regeneration. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Glad this out. Congrats to Mark Pepin. He found that mitochondrial NNT drives diastolic dysfunction in cardiometabolic HFpEF. This directed us to ROS-dependent mechanisms underlying HFpEF. More to come …ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Maarten van den Hoogenhof found a specific way to improve cardiac function in RBM20 cardiomyopathy. CAMK2 inhibition might become the first tailored therapy for a Dilated Cardiomyopathy (after mavacamten for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Mark Pepin MD, MS, PhD et al show that genetically disrupting a single mitochondrial enzyme #NNT lowers cardiometabolic #HF & reduces oxidative stress in the heart. Learn about a therapy for #HFpEF at ahajrnls.org/4jwUsst Johannes Backs Mathias Hohl Anja Karlstaedt Christoph Maack

Congrats, Doris! And thank you that we could contribute to this. The heart undergoes wasting as skeletal muscle and fat do.
