  • Compositions and methods for screening cardioactive drugs
    Patent number: 9186093
    Abstract: We have developed a reduced Drosophila heart preparation in which dissection of the fly heart removes nervous system input and reveals its inherent myogenic activity, which can be preserved for several hours. High speed image capture combined with computer-based analytical packages allows us to generate the equivalent of M-mode traces obtained from ultrasounds of human hearts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 20, 2009
    Date of Patent: November 17, 2015
    Assignees: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BURNHAM INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH
