AbstractHere we show that striated muscle preferentially expressed protein kinase α (Spegα) maintains cardiac function in hearts with Spegβ deficiency. Speg is required for stability of excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) complexes and interacts with esterase D (Esd), Cardiomyopathy-Associated Protein 5 (Cmya5), and Fibronectin Type III and SPRY Domain Containing 2 (Fsd2) in cardiac and skeletal muscle.

IntroductionWhile cancer epidemiologic studies have a long history of integrating genetic and environmental factors into disease causation (Shields and Harris, 2000), researchers, with small exception (Kinney et al., 2010; Pugsley et al., 2021), have not readily implicated environmentally-induced mutations as etiological drivers of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) and other diseases.

AbstractThe high antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) makes it critical to develop alternative antimicrobial agents that are effective and affordable. One of the many applications of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) is their use as an antimicrobial agent against bacteria resistant to common antibiotics.
