Computational Studies of Cardiac and Skeletal Troponin
Troponin is a key regulatory protein in muscle contraction, consisting of three subunits troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI), and troponin T (TnT). Calcium association to TnC initiates contraction by causing a series of dynamic and conformational changes ...

Deep learning-enhanced paper-based vertical flow assay for high-sensitivity troponin detection using nanoparticle amplification [PDF]
Successful integration of point-of-care testing (POCT) into clinical settings requires improved assay sensitivity and precision to match laboratory standards. Here, we show how innovations in amplified biosensing, imaging, and data processing, coupled with deep learning, can help improve POCT.
