Abstract

We have demonstrated a simple method for patterning cardiac muscle cells with high activity on a micron scale for powering bio-hybrid microdevices. The morphology and mobility of patterned cardiac muscle cells within micro wells were analyzed with different topographical heights of the barrier. We found that three-dimensionally grown cardiac cells mediated by a higher physical harrier generated higher contraction force with fasler beating frequency than those of cells attached to the collagen-coated surface on the culture dish (control), suggesting that control over cell growth and shape would be critical for potential engineered cellular motors. Thus, the micropatterned cardiac muscle cells presented here would provide a primary platform for building up 3-D bioactuated microdevices including an engineered cell motor.
