iPS cell-derived cardiac myocytes (heart muscle cells) typically beat about once per second, so I usually speed up the movies I post; otherwise, scrollers might miss the action. But every now and then, a cell looks like this in real time. Could we use these rare cells to uncover mechanisms underlying arrhythmias? Probably, but the way the Burnette Lab would approach that would require a lot of description-- I apologize for using such filthy language. Description indeed...... Grant reviewers hate the uncertainty that word implies; "What if they just take a bunch of videos with their microscopes?" Well, we would do that....... and some other stuff...... the idea that we would not discover something new along the way is laughable. The "other stuff" would be pretty cool. This video shows an iPSC-derived cardiac myocyte videoed by Burnette Lab graduate student Emma Koory. Muscle myosin II is shown. #CellBiology
