Here, we conduct a proof of principle by comparing a 2D and 3D fluorescent image analysis based approach on unlabeled cardiomyocytes. Based on the CellProfiler software, we extracted high-dimensional features of individual cells and nuclei, which are subsequently down-sampled and clustered. These clusters are furthermore benchmarked via different machine learning classifiers (e.g., AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting, Random Forest) as the ground truth for our proposed approach.
