Dissecting Gap Junctional and Ephaptic Contributions to Electrical Conduction in a Novel Cardiomyocyte Pair Model

This paper develops a novel cardiomyocyte pair model to quantify gap junction and ephaptic contributions to electrical conduction, showing that ephaptic mechanisms dominate at physiological sodium levels.

Hypernatremia Enhances Transient Outward Potassium and Late Sodium Currents in a Mouse Model of Long QT Syndrome Type 3

This study investigates how hypernatremia affects action potential duration in a mouse model of long QT syndrome type 3, finding that it increases transient outward potassium currents and alters repolarization patterns.

Detection, Isolation and Quantification of Myocardial Infarct with Four Different Histological Staining Techniques

This paper develops a color-based algorithm to detect, isolate, and quantify myocardial infarct and fibrosis using four histological staining techniques.
