Today’s briefing
Heart muscle repair, Amazon mining impacts and self-assembling protein biomaterials
Cardiomyocytes lost to heart defects or infarctions rarely regenerate in postnatal mammals. At the University of Amsterdam, Marie Günthel investigates how heart muscle cells respond to abnormal mechanical loading, tracking cell-cycle activity in young mice experiencing volume overload and testing neuregulin-1 in rats with pressure overload.
Inside today’s guide
At the end of a doctorate the candidate defends years of research in public, and many universities stream the hour. This is the guide to them.
