INTEGRATION OF ENGINEERED “SPARK-CELL” SPHEROIDS FOR OPTICAL PACING OF CARDIAC TISSUE
2021-01-27
Abstract excerpt
Optogenetic methods for pacing of cardiac tissue can be realized by direct genetic modification of the cardiomyocytes to express light-sensitive actuators, such as channelrhodopsin-2, ChR2, or by introduction of light-sensitized non-myocytes that couple to the cardiac cells and yield responsiveness to optical pacing. In this study, we engineer three-dimensional “spark cells” spheroids, composed of ChR2-expressing...
