N2 - Electrical stimulation to promote cardiac cell function, is well established; yet current methods are all limited to wired stimulation systems. To overcome this limitation, herein we report a wireless passive stimulator to induce contraction in cardiomyocytes with a desired frequency. The wireless stimulator contains passive electrical components, on-board antenna, and one pMOS, and is activated by external RF carrier/pulses. The performance of the stimulator is evaluated on neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, side by side by wired stimulation. The results show that synchronous cell beating behavior via wireless stimulation concurs well with those upon wired counterparts, suggesting that the wireless passive stimulator holds significant potential in heart electrical stimulation and regeneration.
