To introduce a low-cost custom bioreactor capable of delivering tunable electrical stimulation to standard 2D cell monolayers. We show that, after exposure to short-term ES, stimulated CMs express early signs of maturation compared to the non-stimulated control. The changes to contractility and protein expression indicate that the cells undergo hypertrophy in response to short-term ES, but they do not develop transverse-tubules, which is a key component of&#x...
