Studying fibrosis at the labs of Prof. Uri Alon @urialonlab.bsky.social and Prof. Eldad Tzahor @Weizmann Institute of Science.

Excited to share our new study revealing the intricate dynamics of pregnancy & postpartum physiology! We analyzed 40M lab tests from 300K pregnancies and 160K women (cross-sectional) and mapped week-by-week changes starting from preconception to months-long postpartum recovery.

Theory predicted two kinds of fibrosis, hot and cold. We show in vivo that hot and cold fibrosis describe heart failure, and heart attack, respectively, showing that they are very different disease states. @shovalmiyara.bsky.social @eldadtzahor.bsky.social

Our work made it to the cover of @cp-cellsystems.bsky.social ! 🥳 Cold and hot fibrosis define clinically distinct cardiac pathologies www.cell.com/cell-systems... Special thanks to Danielle Kimchi for creating this beautiful cover! 🎉 @urialonlab.bsky.social @eldadtzahor.bsky.social

Congrats to @shovalmiyara.bsky.social,Miri Adler, @eldadtzahor.bsky.social & @urialonlab.bsky.social on this great work! We're glad to have supported the translation of findings from theoretical and animal models to human myocardial infarction data using LIANA+ (liana-py.readthedocs.io)

It’s finally here! My PhD work, five years in the making, is now published @CellSystems @cellpress.bsky.social 🚨 Cold and hot fibrosis define clinically distinct cardiac pathologies. www.cell.com/cell-systems...

🐁 Excitingly, inhibiting TIMP1—a key myofibroblast autocrine growth factor—with neutralizing antibodies reduced cold fibrosis in post-myocardial infarction mice. 🔦 This highlights a novel strategy to mitigate fibrotic remodeling in acute cardiac injuries. 4/5

💬 "Cold" fibrosis emerges from acute injuries like myocardial infarction, while "hot" fibrosis is driven by macrophage-myofibroblast crosstalk in chronic cardiac pathologies. 2/5

🥵🥶 "You're hot, and you're cold..." 🎶 💔 Did you know that this also applies to a broken heart (aka. cardiac fibrosis 🤓)? 🧵 1/5

Very happy to have contributed to this great work! “Hot” and “cold”fibrosis after heart attacks could be affected by targeting myofibroblast’s Timp1. Congratulations @shovalmiyara.bsky.social and @eldadtzahor.bsky.social

I heard about this interesting story a couple of years ago at an AHA meeting @ahascience.bsky.social. It's great to see it published @CellSystems. Congratulations @shovalmiyara.bsky.social‬, @eldadtzahor.bsky.social @urialonlab.bsky.social et al!

A grand project from the one and only @shovalmiyara.bsky.social, redefining what cardiac fibrosis is 🫀❤️‍🔥 It's been inspiring to see this story take shape Huge congrats!

Why do cortisol-lowering drugs work for Cushing’s but fail in mood disorders & chronic stress? We propose that the ability of the pituitary and adrenal glands to adjust their functional masses—normally beneficial—counteracts the drug’s effect. Using a math. model, we screened HPA interventions (1/2)
