Perfusion improves tissue architecture of engineered cardiac muscle.

Abstract excerpt

Cardiac muscle with a certain threshold thickness, uniformity of tissue architecture, and functionality would expand the therapeutic options currently available to patients with congenital or acquired cardiac defects. Cardiac constructs cultured in well-mixed medium had an approximately 100-microm-thick peripheral tissue-like region around a relatively cell-free interior, a structure consistent with the presence...
