Excited to share our new paper, accepted by Cardiovascular Research! To build on our previous paper on CD8 T cells in anthracycline toxicity we show distinct cellular roles for STING in T cell recruitment and fibrosis! academic.oup.com/cardiovascr… @CVR_TomaszGuzik @PilarAlcaidePhD

Thank you @BIDMC_CancerCtr for the opportunity to share our research with our growing cancer survivor population @BIDMChealth Grateful for the support of @BidmcCvi @BIDMC_Research @DanaFarber @AmericanCancer as we build our basic and translational research program in #CardioOnc
💡Researchers at BIDMC are using a new technology that can detect 5,000 proteins in a small blood sample to study how anthracycline chemotherapy may affect heart function, and help inform safer care, for patients with #lymphoma. @AartiAsnaniMD @BidmcCvi

Targeting CIP4 (a scaffold for calcineurin) improved cardiac function after MI and in chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy in mice. Points to a new druggable pathway and proof-of-concept gene therapy for adverse cardiac remodeling. @AbeBayer @PilarAlcaidePhD ahajrnls.org/49arOvs
