An electro-tensile bioreactor for 3-D culturing of cardiomyocytes.

An electro-tensile bioreactor for 3-D culturing of cardiomyocytes.

Cardiac tissue engineering is an emerging field that shows great potential for the treatment of heart disease. With the aim of addressing concerns on a number of the major constraints inherent to cell and tissue culturing, such as ease of cleaning and sterilization, a unique design for gel fixation,...
