Measuring Work Loops in Intact Isolated Cardiac Myocytes by Controlling Pre- and Afterload using a New Generation Force Transducer [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2014
A recent exciting development in cardiac research is the ability to do mechanical experiments on intact isolated cardiac myocytes. Here we mimic cardiac PV loops by imposing a ‘pre-load’ and ‘after-load’ on the myocyte. For these experiments we developed a new generation force transducer as currently available force transducers were not sufficiently ...

Isolating Myofibrils from Skeletal Muscle Biopsies and Determining Contractile Function with a Nano-Newton Resolution Force Transducer

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2020
Striated muscle cells are indispensable for the activity of humans and animals. Single muscle fibers are comprised of myofibrils, which consist of serially linked sarcomeres, the smallest contractile units in muscle. Sarcomeric dysfunction contributes to muscle weakness in patients with mutations in genes encoding for sarcomeric proteins.
