A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego and Stanford University has developed a noninvasive method to monitor the electrical activity inside heart muscle cells from the outside, avoiding the need to physically penetrate the cells. The method, published on Jan. 14 in Nature Communications, relies on recording electrical signals from outside the cells and using AI to reconstruct the signals within the cells with impressive accuracy.
The electrical signals inside heart muscle cells provide insights into how the heart functions, how its cells communicate and how they respond to drugs. But capturing these signals typically involves puncturing the cells with tiny electrodes, which can damage them and make large-scale testing complicated.
Now, researchers have found...
