Abstract
Microfabricated systems are increasingly being used to recapitulate physiological environments for tissue engineering, however the accuracy of the approach requires simultaneous delivery of multiple types of stimuli to the tissue. Here, we use a microfabricated system that allows for precise fluid delivery of nutrients, coupled with an integrated electrical stimulation system, to deliver combined stimuli to iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes in a 3-D matrix. The electrical stimulation system also offers a means by which to assess the maturity of the developing cardiomyocytes, since it can also be used to measure the maximum capture rate of beating cardiomyocytes throughout the culture period.
