    June 29, 2022 — While lower vertebrates can repair their adult hearts after a heart attack, mammals — including humans — cannot. The ability to regenerate dead muscle tissue in mammalian hearts disappears just a few days after birth because the heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, exit the cell cycle.  After that, all growth of the heart comes from enlargement of existing cells, not from…

    Summary This protocol provides instructions to acquire high-quality cellular contractility data from adult, neonatal, and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. Contractility parameters are key to unravel mechanisms underlying cardiac pathologies, yet difficulties in acquiring data can compromise measurement accuracy and reproducibility. We provide…
