Printed elastic membranes for multimodal pacing and recording of human stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes

Abstract Bioelectronic interfaces employing arrays of sensors and bioactuators are promising tools for the study, repair and engineering of cardiac tissues. They are typically constructed from rigid and brittle materials processed in a cleanroom environment. An outstanding technological challenge is...
