Key result
Novel methods based on high-resolution tracking of cellular structures and magnetic beads can independently quantify active and passive mechanical properties of adult cardiac myocytes.
Describes novel high-resolution tracking methods to quantify mechanical properties of adult cardiac myocytes, providing a tool to study cellular mechanics in cardiac hypertrophy.
Enables mechanistic studies of myocyte properties in animal hypertrophy models; leaves open clinical translation pending validation.
Cytoskeletal displacement, mechanical coupling between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix, as well as nuclear mechanics can be independently quantified using novel methods based on high-resolution tracking of cellular structures and receptor bound magnetic beads in response to applied forces. These techniques can be applied to study the interaction between known protein function and specific changes in cellular mechanical properties and their role in cardiac hypertrophy.

Lammerding et al. (2003) studied Cardiac hypertrophy. High-resolution tracking of cellular structures and receptor bound magnetic beads was evaluated. Novel methods based on high-resolution tracking of cellular structures and magnetic beads can independently quantify active and passive mechanical properties of adult cardiac myocytes.
