Cardiac cell networks on elastic microgrooved scaffolds.

Cardiac cell networks on elastic microgrooved scaffolds.

We sought to construct a model-engineered cardiac construct having anisotropic properties and consisting of inter-connected cardiac cells with syncytial tissuelike behavior. We report basic structural, electrophysiological and mechanical characterization of multicellular tissuelike engineered constr...
