“…Anisotropic cardiac function is derived from the different amounts of myocardial tissue between the left and right ventricular walls. 2 More myocardial fibers in the left ventricular walls can cause the left ventricle to generate distinct mechanical work, 3 resulting in region-dependent anisotropic deformation of the heart during blood ejection. 4 Self-oscillating gels, developed by our group, have gained the attention of many scientists and engineers to mimic various dynamic biological oscillatory phenomena, such as a heartbeat.…”
Heartbeats with different ventricular contraction vary with heart regions, which can be described as anisotropy. Herein, we report self-oscillating gels which exhibit region-dependent anisotropic volumetric oscillation behavior similar to that...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
