Bioprinting High‐Cell‐Density Cardiac Tissue Constructs With Sustained Contractile Function
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Contractile cardiomyocytes in 3D culture provide insights into the behavior of the heart. Combining a 3D bioprinting approach with a multi‐electrode array allows the development of the 3D culture to be monitored over time, and matured cultures allow the effect of drugs on cardiac function to be modelled, replicating effects seen in clinical application.
