Abstract
Contraction of the heart is reliant on the shortening of individual cardiomyocytes, elicited by Ca2+ release at sub-cellular structures called dyads. However, the precise arrangement and function of dyads remains unclear, both in health and disease. Our work has examined this critical question using emerging microscopy techniques, including live-cell super-resolution (PALM) imaging. Our results show that nanoscale changes in dyadic structure promote fine-tuning of Ca2+ release in health, but deranged Ca2+ homeostasis during heart failure. These data suggest that newfound regulators of dyadic structure and function may serve as novel therapeutic targets in this disease.
