Overview

Bruce G. Allen is affiliated with the Montreal Heart Institute in Canada and focuses on research spanning biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. The primary subfields of their work include molecular biology and cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, with additional contributions to cellular and molecular neuroscience, surgery, and immunology.

The key research topics explored by Allen involve cardiac fibrosis and remodeling, signaling pathways in disease, melanoma and MAPK pathways, cardiovascular, neuropeptides and oxidative stress research, peptidase inhibition and analysis, receptor mechanisms and signaling, and neuropeptides and animal physiology.

Allen's recent publications illustrate diverse research interests in cardiovascular and molecular biology fields. Notable recent papers include:

  • "The brain-derived neurotrophic factor prompts platelet aggregation and secretion" (2021, Blood Advances)
  • "Implications of enigmatic transglutaminase 2 (TG2) in cardiac diseases and therapeutic developments" (2022, Biochemical Pharmacology)
  • "Current knowledge into the role of the peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzyme family in cardiovascular disease" (2020, European Journal of Pharmacology)
  • "Isolation and culture of adult murine cardiac atrial and ventricular fibroblasts and myofibroblasts" (2021, Methods)
  • "Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B regulates miR-208b-argonaute 2 association and thyroid hormone responsiveness in cardiac hypertrophy" (2022, Science Signaling)

Frequent publication venues reflect a broad scientific reach, including bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Physiological Reports, Circulation Research, Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, and Blood Advances.
