Popis: Cultured adult cardiac tissue undergoes rapid dedifferentiation, which hinders chronic in vitro studies. Here the authors investigate biomimetic electromechanical stimulation of adult myocardial slices applying different preload conditions, identifying the optimum sarcomere length for prolonged culturing, and investigating transcriptional profiles associated with functional preservation.
