Contractile Strength of Cardiac Tissue Derived from Healthy vs. Barth Syndome Patients (VIDEO)
Caption
The difference in contractile strength of engineered cardiac tissues derived from a healthy patient and a patient with Barth syndrome using the "heart-on-a -chip" approach. Healthy tissues generate significantly more contractile stress with each contraction compared to diseased tissues, some of which do not move at all.
