Cardiomyocyte function critically depends on sarcomere dynamics and their organization in myofibrils. To uncover how cardiomyocyte function emerges from individual sarcomere dynamics, comprehensive analysis of Z-bands (nanometer scale), sarcomeres ([~]2 {micro}m scale), and myofibrils ([~]10 to 100 {micro}m scale) is required. Tools for such multiscale analyses are presently lacking. Here we introduce the Sarcomere Analysis Multitool (SarcAsM), which combines deep learning and graph-based methods for automated, fast, and unbiased structural assessment of sarcomeric Z-bands, sarcomeres, and myofibrils as well as their organization in larger myofibril domains. SarcAsM features a generalist deep learning model, pre-trained on a broad range of experimental and published images, ensuring its versatile application and immediate usability across diverse datasets. Finally, we demonstrate the versatile utility of SarcAsM in analyzing sarcomere structure and dynamics under acute and chronic drug exposure in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes with fluorescently tagged Z-bands. SarcAsM is available as open-source Python package and stand-alone application.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
