  • Overview figure of the 2025 Circulation Heart Failure manuscript: Combined Loss of Obsc and Obsl1 in Murine Hearts Results in Diastolic Dysfunction, Altered Metabolism, and Deregulated Mitophagy Check out our manuscript describing the cardiac phenotype of the obscurin/Obsl1 double knockout mouse is published in Circulation Heart Failure. Double knockouts develop diastolic dysfunction heart failure, marked by deregulated calcium handling, altered mitochondrial structure and metabolism, and deregulated autophagy/mitophagy.

      We recently contributed to a new review that summarises "The challenges of assessing adiposity in a clinical setting", available at Nature Reviews Endocrinology.


About the Lab

We investigate muscle development, signaling and maintenance, by studying the biological role of sarcomeric and muscle associated proteins. We are particularly interested to decipher molecular mechanisms that play a role in the development of cardiac and skeletal muscle myopathies.

University logos

The lab is active at the Department of Biomedicine at Aarhus University and Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus.
