Modulation of the contractility of micropatterned myocardial cells with nanoscale forces using atomic force microscopy

The ability to modulate cardiomyocyte contractility is important for bioengineering applications ranging from heart disease treatments to biorobotics. In this study, we examined the changes in contraction frequency of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes upon single-cell-level nanoscale mechanical stimulatio...
