Electrophysiological Characterization of Spontaneously Contracting Cell Aggregates Obtained from Rainbow Trout Larvae with Multielectrode Arrays

Background/Aims: Safety pharmacology requires novel model systems for the detection of cardiac side effects. Ranging from cell-based systems to model organisms, no model available to date reflects the complexity of the human heart and evokes the great need for improved and more affordable systems. M...
