Mechanistic insights into effects of the cardiac myosin activator omecamtiv mecarbil from mechanokinetic modelling by Alf Månsson

“…Repeated tests lead to at a set of parameter values that allow faithful reproduction of range of functional variables of cardiac myocytes. We then apply the model to studies of OM.Results and discussionThe results suggest that major effects of OM such as large reduction of the maximum velocity with more limited effects on maximum isometric force and slowed actin-activated ATPase can be accounted for by two key molecular effects. …”

Characterization of a long-term mouse primary liver 3D tissue model recapitulating innate-immune responses and drug-induced liver toxicity. by Ramona Nudischer, Kasper Renggli, Andreas Hierlemann, Adrian B Roth, Cristina Bertinetti-Lapatki

“…Animal in vitro models enable back- and forward translation of in vitro and in vivo findings, bridge the gap between rodent in vivo and human in vitro scenarios, and ultimately support the interpretation of data generated with preclinical species and humans. Since mice are often used in drug development and physiologically relevant in vitro systems are lacking, we established, for the first time, a mouse liver model that encompasses primary parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells with preserved viability and functionality over three weeks. …”
