Published in 2025 at "Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology"

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2025.1615953

Abstract: Connexin 43 (Cx43) plays a crucial role in maintaining synchronous contraction in the heart. However, it remains unclear whether Cx43 directly influences the contractile force and synchrony of entire cardiac tissues. Previously, we successfully developed… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "eLife"

DOI: 10.7554/elife.77204

Abstract: Over the last few years, there has been growing interest in measuring the contractile force (CF) of engineered muscle tissues to evaluate their functionality. However, there are still no standards available for selecting the most… read more here.
