Abstract
Methods and reagents are described for myocardial regenerative therapy using cardiomyocytes that are cultured ex vivo to have a controlled orientation of beating. This is achieved by growing the cardiomyocytes on a culture support that is coated with a polymerizable liquid crystal which is oriented so as to be in a liquid crystal phase state prior to curing with ionizing radiation or ultraviolet rays.
