Biohybrid fish made from human cardiac cells swims like the heart beats

Harvard University researchers, including MCZ Faculty-Curator of Ichthyology George Lauder and graduate student David Matthews, in collaboration with colleagues from Emory University, have developed the first fully autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. An autonomously swimming biohybrid fish designed with human cardiac biophysics is published in Science and featured by the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Science.
