An insightful panel session featuring @LabBell @k8weeks @jameschong_doc @alta_schutte. The session unpacked the value of undertaking editorial & service roles in scientific journals and how EMCIs can leverage the skills acquired for future opportunities. #ishr_aus #csanz26

Really pleased to share our latest research published in @JMCCPlus. A collaborative project between Melbourne (@LabBell, @DelbridgeLea) and Birmingham (@PavlovicDavor), assessing the acute influence of sex steroids on atrial electrophysiology.
Looking for some weekend reading? 📜 Check out the latest paper from Wells et al with contributions from the @LabBell @DelbridgeLea @PavlovicDavor and @k8weeks Is the electrophysiological response to sex steroids in the atria sex specific ? shorturl.at/USjOe

Review by Janssens et al. @UniMelbMDHS characterizes the concept of cardiomyocyte stiffness and develops an interpretation of “stiffness” attributes at the cellular and molecular levels. ow.ly/C8gf50QUkZN #MyocardialStiffness

Pleased to share our most recent work. High-fat feeding abolishes transmural conduction gradients in ventricular slices. Epicardial conduction slowing strongly correlates with cardiomyocyte lipid accumulation. Novel arrhythmogenic mechanism in settings of cardiac adiposity?
Localized cardiomyocyte lipid accumulation is associated with slowed epicardial conduction in rats. A new Communication from Simon Wells, Lea Delbridge, James Bell @UniMelb @latrobe and colleagues: bit.ly/3t9F9S4 #CellularPhysiology
