A new type of diode that is made entirely of electrically excitable muscle cells and non‐excitable fibroblast cells is designed, fabricated, and characterized in article number 1600035 by Pinar Zorlutuna and co‐workers. These two cell types in a rectangular pattern allow the signal initiated on the excitable side to pass to the non‐excitable side, and not in the opposite direction.
