AN APPLICATION OF INTERDIGITATED ARRAY OF Pt ELECTRODES FOR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF ENGINEERED MUSCLE TISSUE
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrical field stimulation provides an efficient way to differentiate muscle cells, which results in an increase in the contractile activity and the formation of muscle myofibers. Here, we introduced the use of an interdigitated array of Pt (IDA-Pt) electrodes as a novel platform for the electrical stimulation (ES) of engineered muscle tissues.

A contactless electrical stimulator: application to fabricate functional skeletal muscle tissue.
Engineered skeletal muscle tissues are ideal candidates for applications in drug screening systems, bio-actuators, and as implantable constructs in tissue engineering. Electrical field stimulation considerably improves the differentiation of muscle cells to muscle myofibers. Currently used electrical stimulators often use direct contact of electrodes with tissue constructs or their culture medi...
