Latest Reviews & Analysis
Cholesterol crystals in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis
Cholesterol crystals (CCs) have a pathogenic role in various cardiovascular diseases, particularly atherosclerosis. In this Review, Boisvert and colleagues describe the mechanisms underlying CC formation and the role of CCs in cardiovascular disease, as well as therapeutic approaches aimed at reducing CC-mediated atherosclerotic burden.

Trials and tribulations of cell therapy for heart failure: an update on ongoing trials
Cell therapy has emerged in the past 20 years as a promising avenue for cardiac repair and regeneration. In this Review, Zhang and colleagues provide an overview of the evolution of cell-based and cell product-based therapies for the treatment of heart failure, including challenges and lessons learned, and summarize ongoing clinical trials on the feasibility of novel or underexplored treatment protocols.

News & Comment
Unlocking excellence in health care: the power of inclusive and sensitive language in medicine.
This call to action aims to increase awareness of inclusive language in medicine to enhance the experiences of patients and staff and improve health outcomes. Recognizing that terms change, we urge all health-care professionals to advocate for their colleagues and patients. This responsibility to educate the community should not fall exclusively onto marginalized communities.

Charting the future of cardiology with large language model artificial intelligence
Large language models represent a transformative leap in artificial intelligence and natural language processing, offering exciting potential across cardiology, from clinical care to education and research. However, several crucial challenges limit the practical implementation of large language models in cardiology. Interdisciplinary research is imperative to overcome these barriers.

Improving English proficiency for scientific communication by non-fluent speakers
English has long been the dominant language in scientific communication. Although having a universal language for scientific communication is beneficial, this standard imposes a considerable barrier for researchers who do not speak English fluently. However, the current generation of scientists is overcoming this barrier through the use of artificial intelligence-based language tools.

Trade-offs between vessel-based and substrate-based nomenclatures for coronary heart diseases
Debate exists regarding the best terminology for common presentations of heart diseases caused by epicardial and/or microvascular coronary artery disease with or without myocardial ischaemia. In this Comment, we discuss the pros and cons of a new proposal to replace the vessel-based nomenclature of acute and chronic coronary syndromes with the myocardial-oriented nomenclature of acute and non-acute myocardial ischaemic syndromes.

Monocytes migrate to the brain after MI to promote deep sleep to aid cardiac healing
After myocardial infarction, monocytes are actively recruited to the brain to augment sleep power and abundance, which in turn helps to limit cardiac inflammation and promotes recovery.
