New article: "To investigate the sex-specific role of A1BG in the heart, we generated both a conditional A1bg knockout allele and an A1bg Rosa26 knockin allele," authors write. Read the results: https://t.co/fgJqQetxh2

Im happy my final Ph.D paper on A1BG loss causing DCM like phenotypes in females was published in @BioloSexDiff.
