Mitochondrial thioredoxin-2 maintains HCN4 expression and prevents oxidative stress-mediated sick sinus syndrome
Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology 

OBJECTIVE: Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is associated with loss of HCN4 (hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated potassium channel 4) function in the cardiac conduction system. The underlying mechanism for SSS remains elusive.   Read more

 

 

VEGF signalling enhances lesion burden in KRIT1 deficient mice

Industry News
Funding opportunity for early phase clinical trials will be funded through a partnership between the Alzheimer Association and the Gates Foundation
"PART THE CLOUD (PTC) Bioenergetics/ Mitochondria, Clearance Related, Vascular Contributions and Inflammation Clinical Trials Program" will accelerate the testing of innovative therapy, including experimental or repurposed drug and/or experimental or repurposed device in the earliest stages of neurodegeneration. For this program, therapeutic approaches to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) should have a focus on biological mechanisms related to vascular pathology, mitochondrial/ bioenergetics, clearance related mechanisms (autophagy, lysosomal and lymphatic/ glymphatic systems) and inflammation. Projects will be considered that move experimental or repurposed drug candidates and/or experimental or repurposed trial ready devices into Phase 1 or Phase 2 clinical trials for AD and/or ADRD.

Partner Network Advantage on the NAVBO Job Board
Why post your job on NAVBO's career center rather than going directly to the larger job networks?
Pricing on the mass job boards can vary, but to get a job noticed you typically have to sponsor it for $5 - $10 per day, which can add up quickly especially since you also pay for each click the job gets. When you add it all together, you could be spending up to $45 per day on your job posting. But, when posting a job on NAVBO's career center, you simply pay a flat fee! The Premium package includes our Exclusive Extended Partner Network - which means the jobs are broadcast to sites like ZipRecruiter and Jobs2Careers and more for a flat fee.
 
With special member pricing, you can post a job for as low as $300 with this Partner Network. You never pay for each click, just the flat fee on the NAVBO career center. In addition, the Premium package includes a 60-day job posting making it a great value. The Premium packages also offer features like having your company's logo featured on the career center homepage, having your job appear first in search results, and more.
