In this small study we show that engrafted iPSC cardiomyocytes can initiate an impulse that leads to whole ventricular contraction. These results highlight to watch out for graft-induced arrhythmia!

As the time for @FENSorg approaches, the struggle of searching for poster abstracts on the official website becomes real.
But fear not, we are back with the unofficial #FENS2024 abstract database, with a new, fast, and searchable format.

Our debut with @sara_cerioli. Now more on #GenderEquality, #EconomicDevelopment and #EconomicPreferences, and their relation. Which way is the wind of change blowing?
New paper: @sara_cerioli and @Andrey_Formozov find that gender differences in economic preferences have a positive relationship to economic development, but only a weak association to gender equality
