While studies of individual cathepsins have provided insight into their binding and kinetics, cooperative activity between cathepsins K and S has been less well described. Here, we uncover cathepsin cannibalism, a novel mechanism by which cathepsins degrade each other. Cannibalism-aware kinetic models better predict observed matrix degradation processes.\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EJonathan Suever - Advisor, John Oshinski, PhD\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u0022Assessment of Regional Left Ventricular Mechanical Dyssynchrony using MRI\u0022\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003ELeft ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony has been proposed as a parameter to select patients for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Placing the LV pacing lead in the most delayed region yields a better response to CRT; therefore, regional maps of LV dyssynchrony can improve LV lead placement. We developed a method to create a map of regional LV mechanical dyssynchrony from short-axis MRI images.\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003EThe Graduate and Post-Doc (GaP) Seminar Series is a weekly event of research presentations by two graduate students or post-docs conducting bio-related research. \u0026nbsp;The series is organized and sponsored by the Parker H.
