I’ll be presenting my research at #BPS2025 in LA on BIN1’s role in EC coupling in the heart! Come check out my poster on how BIN1 impacts Cav1.2 and RyR2 using super-resolution microscopy, electrophysiology, and calcium transients. @MaartjeWesthoff @RoseEDixon1 @EamonnDickson

Congratulations @mf_navedo @MNCline and the rest of the team. It’s great to see this beautiful work published.
Paper alert!!! I am excited to share our recent work showing that phosphorylation of a single amino acid on the vascular Cav1.2 channel controls vascular reactivity & blood pressure in #hypertension. @ucdavis, @UCDavisHealth, @MCIPUCD, @UCDAVISPharmac1

New preprint from our lab @ucd_physiology! The PhD project of the wonderful Heather Spooner @MCIPUCD. Check it out here: 14-3-3 promotes sarcolemmal expression of cardiac CaV1.2 and nucleates isoproterenol-triggered channel super-clustering

The L-type Ca2+ channel (CaV1.2) is essential for cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. To contribute to the inward Ca2+ flux that drives Ca2+-induced-Ca2+-release, CaV1.2 channels must be...

What I don't get about academia is the chronic lack of celebration. It is hard to get & maintain grant funding, hard to get papers accepted without Faustian bargains, hard to be a great mentor, & hard to maximize trainee success. All of it is hard. We should celebrate everything.

Check out this important work from the Santana lab characterizing beat-to-beat ATP changes in heart!
Check out our new collaboration with @RoseEDixon1 from @ucd_physiology in @PNAS ( https://t.co/Z5QrzOA668). We observed two modalities of beat-to-beat ATP fluctuations in ventricular myocytes based on SR-mitochondrial coupling strength. (1/2)

Amazing job Heather!
An outstanding exit seminar by (almost Dr.) Heather Spooner this afternoon. An amazing grad student I have been fortunate to mentor. Thanks to all who came to celebrate her accomplishments. Heather you nailed it! Tomorrow we walk! @MCIPUCD @ucd_physiology

Massive congrats to @roseEDixon1 @MaartjeWesthoff and @silviagarciadel on this important study. Datasets span from single molecule imaging to in vivo analysis of cardiac function to support their model that BIN1 knockdown rescues heart function in aged hearts.
I'm very proud to announce our latest work https://t.co/DtfukWjN6J just out in @NatureComms Led by @MaartjeWesthoff and @silviagarciadel, we report that BIN1 knockdown rescues systolic dysfunction in aging mouse hearts. @UCDavisHealth @ucd_physiology @MCIPUCD @PTXatUCD 1/6
