             Irregular sleep timing has been associated with cardiometabolic outcomes, including increased prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This scientific statement highlights that sleep timing (and regularity) is another important dimension of sleep

             Today we celebrated the recent success of Dr. Marcin Wysoczynski, who was awarded a five-year NIH R01 grant to study how specific types of neutrophils shape the wound healing response after MI. This award marks the start of a new chapter in our understanding of the failing heart.
