Primary adult cardiomyocyte (aCM) represent the mature form of myocytes found in the adult heart. However, culture of aCMs in particular is challenged by poor survival and loss of phenotype, rendering extended in vitro experiments unfeasible. Here, we establish murine aCM culture methods that enhance survival and maintain sarcomeric structure and Ca<sup>2+</sup> cycling to enable physiologically relevant contractile force measurements. We also demonstrate genetic and small-molecule manipulations ...[more]
