Of the many published methods it appears that hydrogels constitute the preferred scaffolds for myocardial tissue engineering and support of organotypic development. Here we describe a simple and highly robust protocol for the generation of engineered heart muscle using a collagen-based hydrogel method.enbook_chapter10.1007/978-1-4939-1047-2_15250703363145187
