Engineering aligned human cardiac muscle using developmentally inspired fibronectin micropatterns

Abstract Cardiac two-dimensional tissues were engineered using biomimetic micropatterns based on the fibronectin-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) of the embryonic heart. The goal of this developmentally-inspired, in vitro approach was to identify cell–cell and cell-ECM interactions in the microenviro...
