Remarkable story: @UWMedicine clinicians were present to help deliver CPR and, later at @harborviewmc, to give cardiac care that saved Jan Patterson. tinyurl.com/4n4m8n8b @UWMedHeart @UWCardiology @KentaMD @NSwabyKing5 @UWISCRM

Fencing champion survives massive heart attack at Seattle gym

A decorated national fencer collapsed in cardiac arrest during a practice session and survived because four medical professionals happened to be at the same gym.

The Nobel Prize
@NobelPrize9 Oct 2024
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

First ever engraftment and maturation of autologous iPSC-cardios post-infarct without immunosuppression (out to 14 months). Incredible bicoastal collab with Cindy Dunbar & Manfred Boehm’s team @nih_nhlbi to pull this off—what a journey! @UWISCRM @UWMedicine

Pleased to welcome Dr.Kenta Nakamura @KentaMD to @Cambridge_Uni to share his translational research in stem cell based cardiac remuscularization; part of Murry Lab’s mission to regenerate 💔 @UWISCRM @UWCardiology @SilviaMarchia @ketakimhatre @ElahehKarbassi @LabSinha @DrCathyWilson #teamscience 🚀
CambridgeCardio@Cambridgecardio20 Jul 2023
Dr. Nakamura's translational research focuses on pluripotent stem cell-based cardiac remuscularization using various preclinical models to optimize the efficacy and safety of cardiomyocyte transplantation. We are excited to announce his visit here at the #HLRI @CamBioCampus

How it started vs how it’s going One of the major roadblocks for #heartreneration is the onset of arrhythmias after hPSC-CMs #celltherapy. We were finally able to overcome this adverse reaction with the #MEDUSA project, published this week on @CellStemCell; so proud of our team!

🎉 Our #GWAS of gestational diabetes in #FinnGen is now available on medrxiv! We disentangle the genetic relationship of GDM with Type 2 diabetes using new methods we think could be much more broadly useful. A brief thread 🧵 1/7 medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Distinct and shared genetic architectures of Gestational diabetes mellitus and Type 2 Diabetes...

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects more than 16 million pregnancies annually worldwide and is related to an increased lifetime risk of Type 2 diabetes (T2D). The diseases are hypothesized to...

@KentaMD introduces a new clinical trial with human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to induce therapeutic angiogenesis. @UWMedicine is one of two trial sites on the west coast. More info available @ clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/… #MedTwitter #clinicaltrials @uwmnewsroom
