We had 91 walkers across 11 teams, and raised $1,766.40 for cardiovascular research. So much gratitude for everyone who walked, donated, and cheered us on. ❤️ 01 Oct 2026 18:07 +0000at://did:plc:3cji7bokry6o7kqz6cgpjpom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwth67in4j2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/gladstoneinst.bsky.social/post/3mwogzgc7d32gIt's World Heart Day. Heart failure affects approximately 64 million people worldwide. At Gladstone, Michael Alexanian is asking: what if we could just switch it off? He's found two genes, BRD4 & MEOX1, that may hold the answer. https://gladstone.org/news/ask-scientist-can-we-turn-molecular-switches-cause-heart-failure29 Sep 2026 18:21 +0000at://did:plc:3cji7bokry6o7kqz6cgpjpom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwogzgc7d32ghttps://bsky.app/profile/gladstoneinst.bsky.social/post/3mwelchejq22qHappy Research Administrator Day!
