Sarcomere inhomogeneity is increased in failing cardiac trabeculae


Today, we had a special visit from a scientist named Alex Anderson. He uses rats and a special chemical to kill them. He then uses muscles from the rat to find out how the muscle reacts if he puts chemicals with the muscle. He has a really interesting job. He gets to work with lots of interesting pieces of equipment like lasers and microscopes that zoom in closer than a cell.
His dream experiment would be to design and build a robotic arm that is controlled by the brain and the nervous system.
