Disrupted mechanobiology links the molecular and cellular phenotypes in familial dilated cardiomyopathy [Biophysics and Computational Biology]
Familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death and a major indicator for heart transplant. The disease is frequently caused by mutations of sarcomeric proteins; however, it is not well understood how these molecular mutations lead to alterations in cellular organization and contractility. To address this...
