A review by Alessandra Granata discusses current and future human iPSC and gene editing applications to improve our understanding of stroke and open new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

A review article by Hanna-Rivero, N. et al summarizes recent research progress on elucidating the role of anemia and iron deficiency in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). It also discusses the potential impact of anemia and iron deficiency in AF complications such as stroke, bleeding, heart failure, as well as AF-related exercise intolerance.

A review article by D. Thomas et al.,  summarizes recent progress in the field of cardiac organoids and critically discusses the use of 3-D cardiac models in disease modelling and drug screening.

The EBM of the month initiative, a series of interviews with selected Editorial Board Members, run between May 2020 - April 2021, is now finished. Thank you to all EBMs who shared their insights on current cardiovascular research and publishing, as well as their advice to authors and reviewers. We hope to relaunch the initiative again in 2023. You can find the interviews archive here.
