摘要
Heart-on-chips have emerged as a powerful tool to promote the paradigm innovation in cardiac pathological research and drug development. Attempts are focused on improving microphysiological visuals, enhancing bionic characteristics, as well as expanding their biomedical applications. Herein, inspired by the bright feathers of peacock, we present a novel optical and electrical dual-responsive heart-on-a-chip based on cardiomyocytes hybrid bright MXene structural color hydrogels for hormone toxicity evaluation. Such hydrogels with inverse opal nanostructure are generated by using pregel to replicate MXene-decorated colloidal photonic crystal (PhC) array templates. The attendant MXene in the hydrogels could not only enhance the saturation of structural color, but also ensure the composite hydrogel with excellent electroconductivity to facilitate the synergetic beating of their surface cultured cardiomyocytes. In this case, the hydrogels would undergo a synchronous deformation and generate shift in corresponding photonic band gap and structural color, which could be employed as visual signal for self-reporting of the cardiomyocyte mechanics. Based on these features, we demonstrated the practical value of the optical and electrical dual-responsive structural color MXene hydrogels constructed heart-on-a-chip in hormone toxicity testing. These results indicated that the proposed heart-on-a-chip might find broad prospects in drug screening, biological research, and so on.
