Abstract

Bioactuator Microfluidic device PDMS Tissue-on-chip Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) Bioengineering Chemistry (all) Control and Systems Engineering
There are many microfluidic devices such as heart pump made by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) without the supplement of external energy sources [1] with Cardiomyocytes sheet, but the cell viability and alignment is an obstacle to facilitate the adhesion with substrate and cellular function. Here we propose a three-dimensional culture system with microgrooved well substrates to confine growth orientation of Cardiomyocytes in order to enhance the contractility and synchronization of Cardiomyocytes beating.
