Automated analysis of contractile force and Ca2.
Video images of individual cardiocytes (between 75 to 105 in each group) with or without BDM were analyzed for maximal length, width, and area as previously described. 9 Sarcomere lengths were assessed from white-light microscopy video images (between 70 to 110 myocytes in each group) using IonOptix analysis software (IonOptix Corp).
Ionoptix Limited was set up on Thursday the 7th of February 2008. Their current partial address is Dublin 6w, and the company status is Normal. The company's current directors have been the director of 5 other Irish companies between them; 1 of which is now closed. Ionoptix Limited has 1 shareholder.
Introduction. Chronic alcoholism is a common medical, economical and social problem. Nearly 50% of alcoholics develop a unique form of dilated cardiomyopathy, namely alcoholic cardiomyopathy manifested by ventricular dysfunction, heart failure and ultimately cardiac death (1, 2).Recent evidence from our group has unveiled a role of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), ALDH2, in the.
Background: Maternal obesity (MO), in pregnancy, predisposes offspring to a higher risk of obesity, heart disease, hypertension, and vascular dysfunction, known as fetal programming. However, the e.
Introduction. The isolated adult ventricular mouse cardiomyocyte is an important research tool in molecular and cellular cardiology. In contrast to the isolation of rat cardiomyocytes, which reliably yields high cell counts and high percentages of viable myocytes that can be maintained in culture for up to 5 days (), healthy mouse cardiomyocytes are difficult to isolate and can be maintained.

An integral part of modern imaging applications in biomedical research is the analysis of acquired images in order to extract quantitative information of interest from original data. In addition to training on imaging hardware Dr. J. Galvanovskis gives introductory courses on basic analysis software packages that are used for image post-processing. Support in developing novel methods of.
