Preload and Calcium Handling in Muscular Dystrophy
Manage episode 386412105 series 3479554
What does a mouse heart have to do with an M&M candy (the regular kind, not the peanut variety)? In our latest episode, Associate Editor Dr. Crystal Ripplinger (University of California, Davis) interviews author Dr. Tim Domeier (University of Missouri) and expert Dr. DeWayne Townsend (University of Minnesota) about the recent study by Haffner et al et al. The authors examined cardiac calcium mishandling and damage in the setting of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Using a genetic mouse model of DMD crossed with a mouse that expresses a genetically encoded calcium indicator, Domeier and colleagues investigated changes in intracellular calcium handling in response to increased preload. The unexpected finding was that after the acute preload challenge, many of the cells were missing-in-action. What was going on with these missing cells? Listen as we talk about how individual dystrophic cells blow up if stretched too far, and why pointing microscopes in different directions might be the next step to overcome optical imaging challenges. Don’t miss this episode – the enthusiasm for science, tiny pumping mouse hearts, and squishy cells is contagious!
Vivian Haffner, Zahra Nourian, Erika M. Boerman, Michelle D. Lambert, Laurin M. Hanft, Maike Krenz, Christopher P. Baines, Dongsheng Duan, Kerry S. McDonald, Timothy L.
