Human cardiac-muscle patches (hCMPs) constructed from induced pluripotent stem cells derived cardiomyocytes (iCMs) can replicate the genetics of individual patients, and consequently be used for drug testing, disease modeling, and therapeutic applications. However, conventional hCMPs are relatively thin and contain iCMs with fetal cardiomyocyte structure and function. Here, we used our layer-by-layer (lbl) fabrication to construct thicker (>2.1 mm), triple-layered hCMPs, and then evaluated iCM maturity after ten days of standard culture (Control), static stretching (Stretched), or stretching with electrical stimulation at 15 or 22 V (Stretched+15V or Stretched+22V). Assessments of stained hCMPs suggested that... More
