They have participated in the 4th edition of an international consensus on the interpretation, mechanisms and various multidisciplinary aspects of autophagy.
An international team of multidisciplinary researchers has identified one of the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac alternans, an alteration of the heart rhythm that facilitates the induction of ventricular fibrillation, a potentially fatal arrhythmia. Furthermore, they show that people with loss of ryanodine receptor (RyR) function are prone to induction of ventricular fibrillation and sudden death caused by cardiac alternans.
