Characterization of the 3D cardiac tissue in the microphysiological system (MPS).
(a) Optical microscopy image of a cardiac tissue in the MPS. (b) Confocal fluorescence microscopy imaging of the microtissue in the MPS reveals an aligned multiple cell layer thick structure. Inset shows a magnified view of the sarcomeric alpha actinin and DAPI staining. (c, d) Heat map of the time-averaged beating motion and corresponding average beating kinetics in the MPS, (e, f) along the channel axis and (g, h) perpendicular to the channel axis.
