Abstract

We propose a hydrogel-based bioreactor integrated with organic electrodes for efficient electrical stimulation of cardiomyocytes differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). The bioreactor was fabricated by integration of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)/polyurethane (PU) electrodes and a hydrogel with a cell-positioning chamber. The fabricated organic electrodes had a high capacity compared to conventional metal electrodes that prevented unfavorable electric polarization. Cardiomyocytes derived from hiPSCs were cultured in the bioreactor, and their beating frequency was synchronized to frequency of electrical stimulation applied by the electrodes. Efficient electrical stimulation was achieved by optimizing configuration of the electrodes.
