Now that the cardiospheres have formed into cardiac patches containing beats throughout, it is time to create a heart outline.

To successfully do this, I will be using a technique where half of the heart will be made using an outline by covering it with these patches for them to mature into strong multicellular cardiac tissues. An outline of the heart to make the two pieces will be used. Once the cells have filled in the outline of the heart, the outline will be slowly removed to keep the structure intact. Then the second half will be
