A posteriori error estimates for the monodomain model in cardiac electrophysiologyAbstractWe consider the monodomain model, a system of a parabolic semilinear reaction–diffusion equation coupled with a nonlinear ordinary differential equation, arising from the (simplified) mathematical description of the electrical activity of the heart. We derive a posteriori error estimators accounting for different sources of error (space/time discretization and linearization). We prove reliability and efficiency...

Junctophilin-2 is a target of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injuryAbstractJunctophilin-2 is a structural membrane protein that tethers T-tubules to the sarcoplasmic reticulum to allow for coordinated calcium-induced calcium release in cardiomyocytes. Defective excitation–contraction coupling in myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (IR) injury is associated with junctophilin-2 proteolysis. However, it remains unclear whether preventing junctophilin-2 proteolysis improves...
