We are excited to share our latest paper:
Semaglutide Reduces Cardiomyocyte Size and Cardiac Mass in Lean and Obese Mice | JACC: Basic to Translational Science https://t.co/5qlNlPqZpf

[Matthew Martens, PhD @MattDMartens]

Really thrilled to share that I was recently awarded a @CIHR_IRSC Postdoctoral Fellowship to study ROMO1 in the heart!

Thank you to @JasonRBDyck for the mentorship and support as we keep this important work going!

[Dyck Lab @ualberta @DyckLab]

Importantly, science is a team sport, and we're fortunate to have such a fantastic group of scientists and funders!

Big congratulations to our postdoc @MattDMartens for being awarded an @ABInnovates Fellowship in Health Innovation!!

🎉🎉 Great work Matt!

Cardiomyocyte spare respiratory capacity (SRC) is maintained by a mitochondrial protein called ROMO1.

Our study shows that the loss of ROMO1 prevents cardiac hypertrophic growth and that this loss of ROMO1 contributes to worsening heart failure.

Check it out here👇🏼👇🏼

Our ketone review is out! We explore how ketones may improve various cardiometabolic diseases, with a focus on the heart, vasculature, and skeletal muscle. @DyckLab @JasonDyck @JussherLab @Amurtab @AJPCellPhys https://t.co/QhDk2wf124
