About hard working and lazy heart cells. How to grow the myocytes and activate them to beat strongly
Authors: K. Nakano & V.L. Popov. Prof. Ken Nakano from the Yokohama National University, in collaboration with his colleagues, demonstrated that spherical self-beating aggregates of heart cells, cardiomyocytes, produce enhanced mechanical energy under mechanical compression and work cooperatively via mechanical communication. Prof. Nakano concludes that the loaded cells are hardworking while the non-loaded “lazy”. Details of the study are described in the original paper: Nakano, K., Nanri, N., Tsukamoto, Y. et al. Mechanical activities of self-beating cardiomyocyte aggregates under mechanical compression. Sci Rep 11, 15159 (2021).
