  Integrated multi-omic characterization of congenital heart disease

  Single-nuclear transcriptomic and proteomic analyses identify molecular characteristics shared by multiple classes of congenital heart disease, including phenotypes associated with insulin resistance.

  Control of cardiac jelly dynamics by NOTCH1 and NRG1 defines the building plan for trabeculation

  A new model of cardiac trabeculation in mice is presented in which NOTCH1 and NRG1 have opposing roles in extracellular matrix degradation and synthesis that are essential for defining trabecular architecture.

  The heterotaxy gene GALNT11 glycosylates Notch to orchestrate cilia type and laterality

  The O-glycosylation enzyme Galnt11 has an important role in heterotaxy, a disorder of left–right body patterning or laterality: Galnt11 modulates Notch signalling which alters cilia types at the embryonic left–right organizer, therefore determining laterality.

  Patient-specific induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived models of LEOPARD syndrome

  The generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients with defined genetic disorders promises to help the basic understanding of complex diseases and the development of therapeutics. Here iPSCs have been generated from patients with LEOPARD syndrome, a developmental disorder with pleiomorphic effects on several tissues and organs. The iPSCs are characterized and the phenotype of cardiomyocytes derived from these cells is investigated.
