Desmin-related diseases are characterized by skeletal muscle weakness, cardiomyopathy, and respiratory dysfunction due to mutations in the desmin gene (DES), which encodes a protein essential for muscle cell integrity. This study investigates the eff...
BACKGROUND: Genetic variations in the Trpm8 gene that encodes the cold receptor TRPM8 have been linked to protection against polygenic migraine, a disabling condition primarily affecting women. Noteworthy, TRPM8 has been recently found in brain areas...
Although genetic variant effects often interact nonadditively, strategies to uncover epistasis remain in their infancy. Here we develop low-signal signed iterative random forests to elucidate the complex genetic architecture of cardiac hypertrophy, u...

Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of heart muscle diseases that can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Traditional animal models and in vitro systems have limitations in replicating the complex pathology of human c...
Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of untreatable vision loss. In advanced cases, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell loss occurs alongside photoreceptor and choriocapillaris degeneration. We hypothesized that an RPE-patc...
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)-derived neuronal networks on multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) are a powerful tool for studying neurological disorders. The electric activity patterns of these networks differ between healthy and patient-deri...
The efficient manufacturing of cardiomyocytes from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) is essential for advancing regenerative therapies for myocardial injuries. However, ensuring cell quality during production is challenging since traditio...
