Abstract
A new type of diode that is made entirely of electrically excitable muscle cells and nonexcitable fibroblast cells is designed, fabricated, and characterized. These two cell types in a rectangular pattern allow the signal initiated on the excitable side to pass to the nonexcitable side, and not in the opposite direction.
