Adipose-Neural Axis in Cardiac Arrhythmia
2026-09-14
Fan and colleagues developed a stem cell-based coculture model to connect epicardial adipose tissue, sympathetic neurons, and cardiomyocytes in arrhythmogenesis. Their findings identify a leptin–NPY–Y1R pathway linked to NCX and CaMKII activity, while patient data support an association between increased epicardial adipose tissue and elevated leptin and NPY levels.
