• Through the creation of in vitro and in silico models of discontinuous electrical propagation, data can be collected about the stress generation of sarcomeres in abnormal cardiac tissues. (escholarship.org)
  • Here, we create a model to collect contractile force data in discontinuous engineered cardiac tissues in vitro and confirm theoretical predictions about the effect of discontinuity on stress generation. (escholarship.org)
  • produced in vitro vascularized cardiac tissues with perfusable blood vessels by overlaying additional triple-layer cell sheets made by NRCMs cocultured with endothelial cells. (encyclopedia.pub)
  • By acting as a more sophisticated in vitro approximation of complex tissues than standard cell culture, they provide the potential as an alternative to animal models for drug development and toxin testing. (wikipedia.org)
  • 3) modeling organ-level physiology and disease in vitro/ex vivo, and 4) adding high precision and tunability of microfluidic devices. (wikipedia.org)
  • Organotypic brain slices are an in vitro model that replicates in vivo physiology with additional throughput and optical benefits, thus pairing well with microfluidic devices. (wikipedia.org)
  • The benefits of this system have been analyzed in vivo in murine animal models of MI showing improvements in cell survival, cardiac function and tissue remodeling [ 5 ] . (encyclopedia.pub)
