Investigating the role of PP2A-B55α in the heart

NICOLA MAGGIE SERGIENKO2024

Monash University

Online access details

Abstract

This thesis investigates the role of an enzyme known as B55α in the heart. First, B55α was studied in the whole heart using mouse models. It was discovered that B55α regulates growth of heart muscle cells in response to stress. This response differed between male and female mice, demonstrating sex-dependent roles for this enzyme in cardiac biology. Molecular profiling experiments identified several novel targets of the B55α e…

Findings from this thesis point to an important role for B55α in heart function and provide a foundation for further study in settings of heart disease and failure.

Targeting Novel Genes Using CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) in Murine Postnatal Heart

Yanie Tan2025

Monash University

Online access details

Abstract

Heart failure, affecting approximately 65 million individuals globally, is a leading cause of death worldwide. Currently, there are no treatment to reverse its progression. Dysregulation of gene expressions is a key determinant of cardiac pathology outcomes. Yanie’s PhD aimed to address this by investigating the use of a novel gene editing approach called CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) to restore the altered gene expression. Her…

Yanie’s PhD aimed to address this by investigating the use of a novel gene editing approach called CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) to restore the altered gene expression. Her work is among the first to demonstrate successful use of CRISPRa-mediated gene activation in an adult mouse heart, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic tool for restoration of gene expression to improve heart failure outcomes.

Oxygenation as a Memory-Bearing Bridge: How Delay, Averaging and Measurement Shape Apparent Apnea–Desaturation–Bradycardia Cascades in Preterm Infants

Doucette, Doug2026

Zenodo

Online resource

DOI
10.5281/zenodo.23406379
Abstract

This paper examines how the apparent sequence of apnea, desaturation, and bradycardia in preterm infants is shaped by measurement and physiology rather than by mechanism alone. The author builds a linear-filter model of the breathing–oxygenation–heart-rate chain and proves eleven results.
