Excited to share my work @GroupRiley, out today @NatureCVR: https://t.co/82fSTLtw8N Using imaging, scRNAseq & computational modelling , we find that the neonatal cardiac conduction system can regenerate & demonstrate how MI-induced damage elicits arrhythmogenesis 🫀⚡️ 🧵[1/n]

Is evolution predictable or highly contingent? This new @RSocPublishing paper explains why life here & elsewhere might be universal regarding its logic, from molecular information & cells to viruses &ecosystems. @sfiscience @philipcball @seanmcarroll https://t.co/HYPV6fDg3y
