MyoPod™ Human Engineered Heart Tissues (hEHTs)

MyoPod hEHTs are fully functional, mature, and machine-readable human cardiac tissues.

Key advantages of MyoPod hEHTs

Created by seeding cells into decellularized myocardial matrix, enhancing cell alignment and maturity
Ribbon-like tissues are thin and accessible (oxygen diffusion, viral particles, traditional RNA approaches, etc.)
Designed for optimal mechanical measurements

Validation of MyoPod hEHT Performance

Excellent maturation profile relative to adult human tissue

Realistic responses to common inotropes and inhibitors

Scaffold design and advantages

Engineered with unrelenting attention to detail and quality control, our MyoPod™ scaffold system enables reliable production of robust, machine-readable tissues.

Provoke Phenotypes with MyoPod^® Stretch

MyoPod^® Stretch cassettes allow the introduction of a 20% chronic stretch after tissues are formed. Chronic stretch in culture can be used to study cardiomyocyte responses to increased mechanical load and can be useful in exposing disease phenotypes in mutant cell lines.
