Penn State researcher awarded NSF grant to model cell disorder in the heart

On average, the human heart beats anywhere from 60 to 80 times per minute - that's almost 42 million times a year. Each beat consists of billions of cells working together, using their protein channels to pass electrical signals across the muscle.
