From the authors: “In this study, we used marker-independent Raman microspectroscopy (RMS) to gain a deeper understanding of [cardiomyopathy’s] underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms.”

This study is highlighted as one of August’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
