Conclusions • Good flexible approach to interface silicon NWFETs with cells in which optically transparent PDMS/cell substrates are manipulated to place specific cells over particular NWFET elements. • Amplitude variations signals of cardiomyocytes from 31 to 7 nSfor different Vg values recorded (while keeping from calibrated voltage remained constant ). • Multiplexed recording of signals shows cardiomyocytemonolayers enabled temporal shifts and signal propagation. • Approach increases the flexibility and opens up opportunities for interfacing cardiomyocytes and other cells to high-performance NWFETs,
