Very cool study! I suspect we're only beginning to understand the importance of communication between myocytes and the vasculature. The more we understand the better we can intercept pathological remodeling processes.

Manning & Rivera et al. (www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...) show that pruning just a few capillaries in the SA node plunges the heart’s pacemaker into metabolic overdraft—slowing the rate and jacking up beat-to-beat variability. The physiological equivalent of running on fumes. @jaccjournals.bsky.social

Sorry to hear that. As a wiser person than I said of administrators, "there's no hope at the top."

no tiny wooden hut with a grass roof in the hills
but this city these people where I live still are impossible

mirror facing a mirror
nowhere else

on the deep green lily pad dew
has no color of its own

the mind is exactly this tree that grass without thought or feeling both disappear

Thank you! And delighted to know you're also a fan of Black Books... And this is my favorite episode as well along with the one where Manny fuses with the Book of Calm.
