Engineered heart tissues for cardiac safety assessment

Written by Ncardia Stem Cell Experts | August 21, 2026

This poster presents Ncardia’s bioreactor-produced human iPSC-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes integrated into engineered heart tissues (EHTs), combining scalable cell manufacturing with physiologically relevant contractility testing for translational cardiac safety assessment.

Download it now for a closer look at:

  • How Ncyte® vCardiomyocytes are manufactured at scale in controlled stirred-tank bioreactors and incorporated into 3D engineered heart tissues 

  • How the MyoPod® and MyoLab® platforms enable real-time assessment of contractile force, tissue dynamics and pharmacological responses

  • Functional data showing a robust β-adrenergic response to isoproterenol, including increased peak force and accelerated contraction and relaxation kinetics

  • How the engineered tissues demonstrate positive force-frequency behaviour and physiological length-dependent activation

  • How scalable hiPSC-vCM manufacturing and 3D contractility testing can be combined to support translational cardiac safety pharmacology workflows
