Modulation of the cardiomyocyte contraction inside a hydrostatic pressure bioreactor: $\textit{in vitro}$ verification of the Frank-Starling law [PDF]
BioMed Research International 2015;2015:542105, 2019 We have studied beating mouse cardiac syncytia $\textit{in vitro}$ in order to assess the inotropic, ergotropic, and chronotropic effects of both increasing and decreasing hydrostatic pressures. In particular, we have performed an image processing analysis to evaluate the kinematics and the dynamics of those pressure-loaded beating syncytia starting ...
