Day 2 at the #2026Myofilament brought fantastic presentations, insightful discussions, and plenty of exciting conversations around muscle mechanics and cardiac physiology.

You could say the talks really kept us thin-king about filament structure and function all day long 🧬

[Aurora Scientific @AuroraSci]

Cardiovascular disease remains the world’s leading cause of death.

For nearly two decades, we’ve been HEART at work to help change that. Our philosophy in cardiac research is simple: solve the problems others can’t.

[Lafayette Life Science @lafayette_ls]

Muscle keeps time and it matters. ⏱️

Next week, on May 28th, Dr. Karyn Esser will break down how circadian clocks regulate strength, metabolism, and exercise adaptation.

Where timing meets function.

[Chris Rand @ChrisRand22]

A long time coming, but worth the wait! I'm excited to see this system launch and provide cardiovascular researchers with a toll to accurately model physiological conditions in real-time with #CardioLoop.
Stop by the table at #Myofilament to talk with @KatherineA45765! 🫀

[Aurora Scientific @AuroraSci]

The wait is over. 🫀

Introducing the 1515A Intact Myocardial Slice System, Aurora Scientific's most advanced platform yet for cardiac slice physiology.

Any way you slice it, this is the platform cardiac research has been waiting for. 🧵👇

Cardiac tissue is only as good as its preparation. We've built a seamless path from @campden_instr's gold-standard vibrating microtome to bath, stimulation, and analysis. A cutting-edge workflow!

The full reveal is coming. 🫀

[Aurora Scientific @AuroraSci]

Heading to the 2026 #Myofilament Meeting in Tucson (May 23–26)? 🧬

Join leading scientists exploring muscle function, myofilament biology & cardiovascular research.

Aurora Scientific will be there, so come connect with us!

#MuscleResearch

[Aurora Scientific @AuroraSci]

There's something in the wind, and it's been there since 1899. We're closing the gap between bench measurement and Windkessel-informed analysis: cardiac cycle, dynamic cardiac mechanics, haemodynamic insights. One workflow.

Stay tuned. 💨

We are excited to announce Sutter Instrument has joined the Lafayette Life Science Division. Sutter is known for its innovations in micropipette fabrication, electrophysiology, microinjection, microscopy, and micromanipulation technologies.

Read Release: https://t.co/ipY2nImBSB

[Aurora Scientific @AuroraSci]

Not every preparation fits the same mould, so we built something that adapts. Larger bath volume. Adjustable electrodes. A platform for your science, any way you slice it.

Something new is coming. 🔬
