Hello! The Lammerding Lab @CornellBME and @weillinstitute is now on Twitter! Here is what you can expect from this account: highlights of our #mechanobiology work, pretty fluorescent images and videos, gushing over our team members, and more. Follow us!

We are tremendously thankful to Dr. Ruping Chen and @CircRes for highlighting our recent publication on LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy in an editorial: https://t.co/Di8nnXNbzf

The Cornell Chronicle featured another commentary:

@anshulkundaje @NIHDirector_Jay Him disagreeing unfortunately doesn’t resolve the legal issue with the agreement you sign with the publisher when you want them to publish the manuscript. Hence the NIH should push on the publishers to change their conditions and policies.

[Lammerding Lab @LammerdingLab]

@anshulkundaje @NIHDirector_Jay I know the instructions and I routinely upload our manuscripts to PMC, but the embargo conditions of most publishers still do not allow you to make the PMC article available before the end of their embargo period. NIH should pressure the publishers, not the authors.

Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding lamins A/C, cause severe dilated cardiomyopathy.
But what drives the disease?
Disrupted chromatin organization & gene regulation or mechanical damage to the nucleus?
Distinguishing these mechanisms is critical for developing new therapies.

[Lammerding Lab @LammerdingLab]

Our findings suggest that targeting nuclear rupture and its downstream consequences could open new therapeutic avenues for LMNA cardiomyopathy!
THANK YOU to Noam Zuela-Sopilniak, Julien Morival, our collaborators & funders: @NIH (NHLBI, @NIH_NIAMS, NIGMS) & the Mills family.

Can protecting the cell nucleus prevent heart failure—even when the genetic defect remains?
Our new study in @CircRes suggests it can!
We identify nuclear envelope rupture as a key driver of LMNA-related cardiomyopathy.

@allisonoconn Zotero! Completely transitioned from Endnote to Zotero a few years ago and very happy with. The browser extension to import references is super convenient.
