OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Mutant phosphodiesterase 3A protects from hypertension-induced cardiac damage
Please note this seminar has been rescheduled to Friday 28 October
Gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3A cause hypertension with brachydactyly (HTNB). If the hypertension is not treated, the patients die of stroke by the age of 50 years. Even treated, the blood pressure does not reach physiological levels. Surprisingly, despite the decade-long hypertension, HTNB patients do not show cardiac damage. The presentation comprises an introduction of HTNB and will show analyses of HTNB rat and cell-based models, which suggest mechanisms accounting for the cardioprotection of the mutations.
