Design and characterization of an electroconductive scaffold for cardiomyocytes based biomedical assays

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major cause of mortality worldwide. Accessibility to heart tissue is limited due to sampling issues and lack of appropriate culture conditions. In addition, animal models are not an ideal choice for physiological, pharmacological, and fundamental evaluations in the cardiovascular field due to interspecies differences. Hence, there is an inevitable need for functional in vitro cardiac models. In this study, we...
