Fluorescence-based system for measurement of electrophysiological changes in stretched cultured cardiomyocytes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Acute or sustained stretch of cardiac tissue is known to play a key role in arrhythmogenesis. Using a fluorescence approach, we designed a system measuring calcium transients and transmembrane potential changes in monolayers of cultured cardiomyocytes under uniaxial elongation and electrical stimulation. Cardiac myocytes are seeded on a rectangular PDMS template held and stretched by a motorized linear guide system. Electrical stimulation is performed with two parallel carbon electrodes supplied by amplified pulses from a digital-to-analog converter. The cells are stained with either voltage- or calcium-sensitive dye (di-4-ANEPPS and Fluo-4 AM respectively). The two available excitation light sources are both current-controlled LED arrays (λ = 523 ± 45 nm for di-4-ANEPPS and λ = 505 ± 15 nm for Fluo-4 AM). The filtered emitted fluorescence (λ > 610 nm for di-4-ANEPPS and λ = 535 ± 25 nm for Fluo-4 AM) is transduced to current with a photodiode, converted to amplified voltage signals and digitized. The design and preliminary validation results are presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
