Abstract

Modeling of cardiac pathologies in tissue-engineered models is coming of age. Two independent studies by Reid et al.<sup>1</sup> and Tani et al.<sup>2</sup> present in-depth multi-phenomics data from a human cardiac organoid (hCO) model and explore hCOs and engineered heart tissues (EHTs) for modeling of diastolic dysfunction.
