Abstract excerpt
Chronic exposure to environmental pollutants threatens human health. Arsenic, a world-wide diffused toxicant, is associated to cardiac pathology in the adult and to congenital heart defects in the foetus. Poorly known are its effects on perinatal cardiomyocytes. Here, bioinformatic image-analysis tools were coupled with cellular and molecular analyses to obtain functional and structural quantitative metrics of...
