Abstract: Abstract A proof-of-concept method for measuring cardiac tissue contraction force using an in-house-developed piezoelectric cantilever sensor system is demonstrated. Contracting forces of 7.2–16.6 μN (n = 5) were measured from a human cardiac tissue construct. Beating cardiac tissue… read more here.

Abstract: What is the central question of this study? In electrically stimulated skeletal muscle, force production is downregulated when oxygen delivery is compromised and rapidly restored upon oxygen delivery restoration. Whether ‘oxygen conforming’ of force production… read more here.
