Why travel to Denmark to collect samples from a giraffe's heart? @brantisakson.bsky.social lab members Skylar Loeb and @lukedunaway.bsky.social made the trip to learn more about diastolic heart failure. Red more: www.cvrc.virginia.edu/cvrc-trainee... #cardiology #medsky

🦕🦕 I’m happy this fun little book is finally out exploring how the physiology of the sauropod dino helped contribute to its dominance on earth for so long. However, I think I’ll stick to my day job 😁 🦕🦕

Happy Donut Friday to these three! Zuza received an AHA for work on Piezo2, Wyatt received BOTH an AHA and a F31 for work on basophils, and Skylar received an F31 for work on lymphatic alpha globin! Honored to have them in lab! (Pic from 2024 NAVBO)

Delighted to share ongoing translation of our discovery that alpha globin-eNOS is a potent regulator of NO in endothelium. In this work, the mechanism is confirmed in humans with alpha thalassemia, and our HbaX peptide used to dilate sickle cell arteries n/🧵 www.ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1...
