Quantitative proteomics and single-nucleus transcriptomics of the sinus node elucidates the foundation of cardiac pacemaking

The sinus node generates rhythmic heartbeat but the molecular basis of pacemaking is still under debate. Here, the authors combine quantitative proteomics and single-nucleus transcriptomics to characterize the molecular composition of the sinus node and provide insights into the underpinnings of pac...
