Caption

A two-cell "microtissue" contains a mouse embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte and a mouse neonatal cardiomyocyte. The lower panel shows the traction forces generated as the two cells contract; the stronger, neonatal cardiomyocyte produces more force than the weaker, stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte.
