The cardiac phospho-proteome during pressure overload in mice by Rhys Wardman, Steve Grein, Jennifer Schwartz, Frank Stein, Joerg Heineke

“…Our analysis highlights significant changes in hypertrophic signalling, metabolic remodelling, contractile function, and the stress response pathways. We present proteomic data from the main cardiac cell types (endothelial cells, fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes) to reveal the cellular localisation of the detected phospho-proteins, offering insights into temporal and site-specific phosphorylation events, facilitating the potential discovery of novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers. …”
