Ubiquitin-specific protease 38 modulates atrial fibrillation susceptibility in chronic kidney disease via STRAP stabilization and activation of TGF-β/SMAD signaling

Abstract Objective This study aimed to elucidate the role of the deubiquitinase USP38 in chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated atrial fibrillation (AF) by investigating its impact on atrial structural and electrical remodeling and its interaction with STRAP and TGF-β/SMAD signaling. Methods A muri...
