Title Cardiac multiscale bioimaging: from molecules through cells to whole heart

Host Elisabetta Brunello

 

Abstract Cardiac multiscale bioimaging is an emerging field that aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the heart and its functions at various levels, from the molecular to the entire organ. It combines both physiologically and clinically relevant dimensions: from micrometer-resolution imaging based on linear and non-linear microscopy to assess molecular process and electrical dynamics in cardiac cells and myocardial tissue, to mesoscale morpho-functional investigations to improve the understanding of cardiac (patho)physiology.
