Microfabrication of Patterned Co-cultures for Controllable Cell–Cell Interfaces

Muscle‐Cell‐Based “Living Diodes”

“…Current coculture patterning approaches either confine only one cell type or use sophisticated automated printing methods. [31][32][33] Furthermore, these methods require a second cell seeding procedure, which causes stress for the first seeded cells and potential cross contamination (one cell type attaching on the other). In our MCD design it is crucial to avoid the presence of CMs in the CF side, since they would render the non-excitable region excitable.…”
