Novel Methods of Automated Quantification of Gap Junction Distribution and Interstitial Collagen Quantity from Animal and Human Atrial Tissue Sections

BACKGROUND: Gap junctions (GJs) are the principal membrane structures that conduct electrical impulses between cardiac myocytes while interstitial collagen (IC) can physically separate adjacent myocytes and limit cell-cell communication. Emerging evidence suggests that both GJ and interstitial struc...
