Cardiopatch Platform Enables Maturation and Scale-up of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Engineered Heart Tissues

Drs. Nenad Bursac, Ilya Shadrin, Brian Allen, and colleagues report on a “Cardiopatch” platform for 3D culture and maturation of hiPSC-CMs (after 5 weeks of differentiation) showing robust electromechanical coupling, consistent H-zones, I-bands, and evidence for T-tubules and M-bands.
