This study shows that loss of KDM6A in hematopoietic cells impairs cardiac recovery after heart failure by causing epigenetic changes in myeloid cells that increase inflammation and worsen cardiac outcomes.

This paper uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing to analyze HFpEF myocardium, identifying transcriptional changes in cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages that suggest metabolic, inflammatory, and fibrotic mechanisms.

This study identifies ZBTB16 as a critical regulator of endothelial function in aging, showing its protective role against cardiac dysfunction through suppression of pro-fibrotic signaling.

This study shows that loss of RGS5 in pericytes with age leads to cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis by altering pericyte function and activating fibroblasts.

This study identifies circPLOD2 as a hypoxia-regulated circRNA that modulates pericyte function by regulating KLF4, affecting proliferation and vascular interactions.
