Contractile function using different hCSC line. a Developed force, b rate of contraction (+dF/dt), and c rate of relaxation (−dF/dt), for hCM-only controls (red circle) (n = 5), and hCSC-supplemented hECTs (blue triangle) (n = 7), at day 6 after tissue fabrication. d Developed force at day 8 (n = 5 and n = 6 respectively) and day 10 (n = 4 and n = 8 respectively) after tissue fabrication. Measurements performed at 1.0-Hz pacing frequency; values normalized to mean control hECTs. Dot plots show individual data with bars representing mean ± SD; ***p < 0.001
