The sinoatrial node extracellular matrix promotes pacemaker phenotype and protects automaticity in engineered heart tissues from cyclic strain

Summary: The composite material-like extracellular matrix (ECM) in the sinoatrial node (SAN) supports the native pacemaking cardiomyocytes (PCMs). To test the roles of SAN ECM in the PCM phenotype and function, we engineered reconstructed-SAN heart tissues (rSANHTs) by recellularizing porcine SAN EC...
