Newly set up ECG on our Langendorff device! This is a Guinea pig heart 9 weeks after injury (pale area) with transplanted iPSC-cardiomyocytes

We’re excited to extend noninvasive optogenetics beyond the brain to address a nearly 150-year-old question in a new study out today nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… Work led by Brian Hsueh, myself, and Karl Deisseroth, with an amazing team in the D-lab and many others!

Fun fact: the European Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) fluoresces under ultraviolet light! Wild blues and pinks. Taken this evening in my backyard while looking for fluorescent flowers. Love the cedar twig hair decoration, one stylish ‘hog.

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…)

Happy to announce that I have recently started working @tronmainz in the newly founded Center of Cardiovascular Immunology and Regeneration 🫀🧬👨🏻‍🔬 Lots of exciting cardio and vascular science to come

The first talk in the Keynote Session for the Cell Contact and Adhesion Gordon Research Conferences is by Martin Schwartz. While i'll respect GRC rules and note share any of his cool new data, I will remind folks that he is MOST famous for teaching us about stupidity

Wir sind zutiefst betroffen und traurig: DZHK-Professorin Jeanette Erdmann ist am 8. Juli 2023 plötzlich verstorben. Sie war eine fabelhafte Wissenschaftlerin und ein wundervoller Mensch. Unser Mitgefühl gilt den Angehörigen. Wir werden sie nie vergessen. 🖤

They tried so hard and got so far

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

Interested in #neurocardiac interactions? If so check out our preprint human #engineered innervated muscle from #iPS cells. A project supported by DFG public | @[email protected] MBExC DZHK Germany. Thank you Lennart V. Schneider Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, UMG Andre Fischer for the amazing effort. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thinking about doing a PhD? Become a member of the Kim Lab at @tronmainz to work on translational therapies for heart repair! Check out project P02! We will be employing RNA to improve iPSC derived cardiomyocyte therapy for heart repair 🫀 atlas-phdprogram.com/projects-offer…

BioNTech has always been deeply rooted in academia. #STEM grads can now explore #science projects and apply for a full-time contract via our ATLAS #PhD program, a collab with TRON. Students with a sweet spot for #biomedical #research can apply by Oct 31. atlas-phdprogram.com/how-to-apply

📢Come and join us, Sinha Lab are recruiting 2 exciting opportunities for post doc research associates. Apply before 6 November here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/43305/ and jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/43293/

Happy to share our latest work, an in-depth characterisation of optogenetic BiPOLES to alter cardiomyocyte electrophysiology! link.springer.com/article/10.100… @weinberf J. Simon Wiegert PanBangfen DZHK Germany Young-DZHK UKE Hamburg

New preprint! We use optogenetic iPSC-cardiomyocytes to override the host cardiac rhythm after transplantation. This is experimental evidence that engrafted cardiomyocytes can cause ventricular arrhythmia! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @weinberf J. Simon Wiegert DZHK Germany UKE Hamburg

And it’s out: doi.org/10.1016/j.stem… In this small study we show that engrafted iPSC cardiomyocytes can initiate an impulse that leads to whole ventricular contraction. These results highlight to watch out for graft-induced arrhythmia! @weinberf J. Simon Wiegert

🫀 Dr. Tim Stüdemann at @DZHK_germany and team demonstrates that transplanted cardiomyocytes can electrically couple to the host myocardium and stimulate the recipient heart. bit.ly/4dmq41j
