Abstract
Animal models have been instrumental in providing insight into the molecular basis of disease. While such information has been successfully applied to the study of human disease, this translation would be significantly strengthened by the availability of models based on human cells. This would be particularly important for cardiovascular disease, as the physiology of human cardiomyocytes (CMs) differs significantly from rodents. Here, we have generated a three-dimensional human engineered cardiac tissue, termed biowire, from human embryonic stem cell-derived CMs to investigate the effects of chronic (7 day) treatment with isoproterenol, endothelin-1, or angiotensin II. We show that biowires chronically treated with either isoproterenol, endothelin-1, or angiotensin II have disrupted myofibril alignment and significantly reduced force of contraction. Isoproterenol-treated biowires have upregulated brain natriuretic peptide and atrial natriuretic peptide gene expression. Endothelin-1 and angiotensin II-treated biowires demonstrated a significantly increased cell size. Endothelin-1-treated biowires exhibited increased cardiac troponin secretion into the culture media. This demonstrates that human biowires treated for 7 days with isoproterenol, angiotensin II, or endothelin-1 exhibit some changes compatible with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

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 it
