📢🔬📄New paper in Cardiovascular Research with involvement of our facility equipment and staff (Tom Waring, @makaefer.bsky.social)! The study shows that lysosomal Ca²⁺ signalling contributes to cardiac pacemaker activity and cAMP regulation. doi.org/10.1093/cvr/...
doi.org
Lysosomal signaling pathways influence heart rhythm, and regulate atrial function
AbstractAims. In the heart, endogenous nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) triggers lysosomal calcium (Ca2+) release to augment sarcoplas
