Dissecting organoid-bacteria interaction highlights decreased contractile force as a key factor for heart infection
2025-04-14
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial endocarditis is a fatal cardiovascular disease exacerbated by weakened heart contraction, yet the direct impact of cardiac contractility on bacterial adhesion remains elusive. Here, we present a novel quantitative physics model integrating finite element analysis and live-cell imaging to uncover their strong correlation. Using this model, we quantified the real-time force magnitude generated by organoid-...
