...In particular, we reasoned accordion-like honeycomb scaffolds exhibiting distinct preferred and orthogonal, cross-preferred material directions could potentially: (1) match the anisotropic in-plane mechanical response of native myocardium within the physiologic regime, (2) provide low in-plane resistance to contraction and (3) provide an inherent structural capacity to guide cardiomyocyte orientation in the absence of external stimuli....
