Researchers Reveal a Mechanism of Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common type of cardiomyopathy and one of the leading causes of heart failure (HF). Several mutations identified in phospholamban (PLN) have been linked to familial DCM and HF, yet the underlying molecular mechanism remains controversial. Under physiological conditions, PLN interacts with sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) and regulates calci...

Brown Carbon from Biomass Burning: a Strong Warming Agent in the Arctic Region

Rapid warming in the Arctic has a huge impact on the global environment. Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) is one of the least understood and uncertain warming agents due to a lack of observations. This study performed direct observations of atmospheric BrC and quantified its light-absorbing properties during a two-month circum-Arctic cruise in the summer of 2017. Through observation-constrained m...
