This paper demonstrates the use of optogenetic and sonogenetic biological actuators to pace unmodified cardiac tissue with high spatial precision and rapid integration.

This study uses high-throughput pericellular oxygen measurements and computational modeling to assess how adrenergic drugs affect human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes.

A Halbach array modulates excitation wave speed in human cardiac cell assemblies with magnetic nanoparticles, increasing conduction velocity by up to 25% when aligned with the wave direction.

The paper shows that Zim3, used as a CRISPRi effector without guide RNAs, upregulates cardiac ion channel genes in iPSC-CMs, leading to a more mature phenotype.
