Episode 55: Big questions about the smallest heart muscles

Science Talks

Show Notes

Understanding the role of cardiac myosin binding protein-c in muscle function can offer insight into cardiovascular disease. Mutations and abnormalities in this protein can lead to defects in the cardiac system, including heart failure in adults. Amy Barber and Caroline Bartelme are joined by Dr. Angie Greenman, a 2024 BIO5 Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Samantha (Sam) Harris’ lab in the Department of Physiology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson. Dr. Greenman studies the molecular mechanisms of cardiac myosin binding protein-c that will hopefully lead to better outcomes for understanding muscle function and cardiac disease.
