Leaf-venation-directed cellular alignment for macroscale cardiac constructs with tissue-like functionalities

Abstract Recapitulating the complex structural, mechanical, and electrophysiological properties of native myocardium is crucial to engineering functional cardiac tissues. Here, we report a leaf-venation-directed strategy that enables the compaction and remodeling of cell-hydrogel hybrids into highly...
