Torsades de Pointes (TdP) is a type of ventricular arrhythmia which could be observed as an unwanted drug-induced cardiac side effect, and it associated with repolarization abnormalities in single cells. The pharmacological evaluations TdP risk previous years mainly focused on the hERG channel due to its vital role cardiomyocytes. However, only considering drug effects led false positive predictions since action other ion channels can also have crucial regulatory repolarization. To address...

In the field of multi-view satellite photogrammetry, neural radiance (NeRF) method has received widespread attention due to its ability provide continuous scene representation and realistic rendering effects. However, methods based on NeRF are limited by slow training speed original NeRF, reconstruction efficiency is low. Training for a single usually takes 8–10 h or even longer, which severely constrains utilization exploration approach within domain photogrammetry. response above problems,...
Human-based modelling and simulation offer an ideal testbed for novel medical therapies to guide experimental clinical studies. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common cause of heart failure mortality, which are urgently needed. Although cell therapy offers promise, electrophysiological heterogeneity raises pro-arrhythmic safety concerns, where underlying complex spatio-temporal dynamics cannot be investigated experimentally. Here, after demonstrating credibility the framework, we investigate...
Background: Cardiac alternans is an important precursor to arrhythmia, facilitating formation of conduction block, and re-entry. Diseased hearts were observed be particularly vulnerable alternans, mainly in heart failure or after myocardial infarction. Alternans typically linked oscillation calcium cycling, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). While role SR reuptake well established, altered release by ryanodine receptors has not yet been studied extensively. At same time, there strong evidence...
