This morning, Dr. Ambros learned that he is the co-recipient of the 2024 @NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of microRNA. #NobelPrize@ProgMolMed
“While science can be a challenge… All that pales in comparison to the thrill of the questions to be asked, of seeing them answered one day.”

Thick filaments help the heart to beat.
Peter Knight @AstburyCentre @ScienceLeeds discusses structural evidence that provides new insights about these myosin-containing filaments. https://t.co/HntBdCddlt
Two papers in @Nature describe the structure and conformation of myosin in the cardiac thick filaments and how it interacts with other proteins, such as titin and cMyBP-C, in mammalian hearts ($): https://t.co/4AHuRtxAWJ @DvdGently, @intein, @raulpadron#ResearchHighlight
Really proud to share our last preprint on Omecamtiv and Mavacamten, two modulators of cardiac myosin. Years in the making. Very happy to work with the team, especially Anne, Carlos, Daniel & Stéphane on this paper.

Excited to have played a small part in this amazing study in @nature by Drs. Dutta, Nguyen, Padron, and Craig from @UMassChan, @umassradiology.
Thank you to the patients and families who made it possible. Let's hope the research accelerates therapies.
