Several of the faculty and trainees from the center presented their latest cutting-edge cardiovascular research at last week's International Society for Heart Research-North American section meeting in Minnesota. It was a great meeting for all. #ISHRNAS2026 #cardiosky
Latest from the Wysoczynski lab! In Experimental Hematology, Stephan et al. show that after MI, SiglecF⁺ neutrophils arise locally in the heart—not from immature cells, but from mature CD101⁺ neutrophils.
Professor Guyton built his career on feedback control, so consider this our (slightly delayed) feedback: Dr. Helen Collins winning the 2026 Arthur C. Guyton Award is exactly the equilibrium the field should settle into. Congratulations, Helen! 🫀 #Cardiosky #Physiology
Huge congratulations to Dr. Benjamin Doelling (pictured) on defending his PhD today! His work shows that restoring cardiac carnosine levels in heart failure reduces chronic cardiac inflammation and rescues cardiac function. We are proud of you and your accomplishments.
Rounding out the CCS presentations, Dr. Helen Collins will present in the Women's Cardiovascular Health Session in the Nicollet D room at 8 am on June 3. Her presentation will discuss recent findings from the lab examining Remodeling in the Female Heart in response to Pathological Stress.

This phenotype is driven by inflammatory cues (TGF-β/GM-CSF) and enhanced by G-CSF priming—highlighting tissue-driven immune heterogeneity. Way to go, Team. Check out the paper here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42019709/
Rounding out poster session 2 at ISHR-NAS, Nora Anderson, from the laboratory of Dr. Helen Collins, will present on the "Impact of Extrinsic Sleep Disruption During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period on Systemic and Cardiovascular Adaptations.
Looking forward to participating in the UofL Summer Health Professionals Education Program Research in Medicine Panel tomorrow. I enjoy giving back to the UofL community and the future scientists and medical students that will shape these programs in years to come @uoflmedicine.bsky.social
Don’t forget to sign up for this masterclass on immune cell activation during heart failure on Tuesday June 9 at 2 pm ET. This session will feature leading experts in cardiac immunology, Drs. Prabhu and Alcaide. Be there or miss out! #cardiosky #AHA #BCVS #cardioimmunology
