Influenza hijacks myeloid cells to inflict type-I interferon-fueled damage in the heart: Immunity cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S…
Bram and I have been thinking a lot about how PET imaging might shed light on trained immunity mechanisms in CVD🫀. We summarized our ideas in a brief review, now published in ATVB. Curious what you think! ✨

💥 A gut microbe metabolite that drives #atherosclerosis?
Yes—Imidazole propionate (ImP) triggers vascular inflammation without changing cholesterol.
🧪 We show the pathway—and how to block it.

We are delighted to share our latest findings today in @Nature. We describe cardiogenic regulation of sleep after cardiac injury.

In this paper on stress & CVD, we find a novel association between disruptions in the uncinate fasciculus and carotid atherosclerotic burden.
Grateful to @ATawakolMD @zahifayad for this opportunity and to @daveoctweets @mandyvanleent for all the help!
