Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Biology
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Cellular Imaging

Background:

  • Understanding cardiomyocyte structure-function relationships is crucial for cardiac biology and disease modeling.
  • Current methods for assessing cardiomyocyte contractility require time-resolved imaging and intensive computational analysis, limiting throughput.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a generative artificial intelligence (AI) framework for predicting cardiomyocyte contractile behavior directly from single static images.
  • To establish a scalable and interpretable method for inferring cardiomyocyte function from morphology, reducing reliance on time-lapse imaging.

Main Methods:

  • A U-Net-based generator integrated with a patch-based Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) discriminator was employed to translate morphological and sarcomere structural features into contraction heatmaps.
  • Synthetic cell-function pairs generated using a StyleGAN2 framework were incorporated to enhance model performance and generalizability.
  • Analysis of AI predictions focused on structure-function relationships, contractile output, prediction fidelity, and reconstruction error as an interpretable metric.

Main Results:

  • The U-Net-GAN model achieved high predictive accuracy, with Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) values reaching 0.84 when using combined morphological and structural inputs.
  • Incorporation of synthetic data improved prediction accuracy and perceptual similarity, enhancing the model's generalizability.
  • AI predictions successfully captured biologically meaningful structure-function relationships, demonstrating that sarcomere organization correlates with contractile output and prediction fidelity.

Conclusions:

  • The developed generative AI framework offers a scalable and interpretable strategy for inferring cardiomyocyte function from static morphology, eliminating the need for time-lapse imaging.
  • This approach positions generative AI as a powerful tool for bridging cellular structure and function, enabling high-throughput functional phenotyping in cardiac research.
  • The framework advances in vitro cardiac modeling by providing an efficient method for assessing cardiomyocyte behavior.
