In vitro cardiac models have been attracted substantial interest in cardiac tissue engineering (TE). They provide a promising alternative to the drug screening process currently in use which suffer from high failure rate in clinical trials. Engineering these systems requires a combination of biomaterials and technologies to design scaffolds that accurately replicate the environment of the native tissue.In this work, polymers that can statically or dynamically stimulate cardiac cells in vitro have been investigated. Elastomers and hydrogels were considered as the most appropriate materials especially for their elastic properties. However, shaping these materials using conventional microfabrication techniques is extremely difficult.In static ...
