The present invention relates to the production of cell cultures and tissues from undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells using three-dimensional biomimetic materials. The resultant cell cultures or tissues can be used in any of a number of protocols including testing chemicals, compounds, and drugs. Further, the methods and compositions of the present invention further provide viable cell sources and novel cell delivery platforms that allow for replacement of diseased tissue and engraftment of new cardiomyocytes from a readily available in vitro source. The present invention includes novel methods required for the successful production of cell cultures and tissues, systems and components used for the same, and methods of using the resultant cell and tissue compositions. 120.-. (canceled)21. A three-dimensional , synchronously contracting cardiac tissue comprising;a hydrogel material comprising a covalently crosslinkable component and a natural hydrogel component, the natural hydrogel component comprising one or more of fibrinogen, collagen, gelatin, hyaluronic acid, elastin, fibronectin, laminin, fibrin, alginate, and decellularized cardiac extracellular matrix, andthree-dimensionally differentiated, PSC-derived cardiomyocytes encapsulated within the hydrogel material.22. The three-dimensional claim 21 , synchronously contracting cardiac tissue of claim 21 , wherein the synchronously contracting cardiac tissue contracts as a single unit.23. The three-dimensional claim 22 , synchronously contracting cardiac tissue of claim 22 , wherein the synchronously contracting cardiac tissue contracts spontaneously.24. The three-dimensional claim 23 , synchronously contracting cardiac tissue of claim 23 , wherein the synchronously contracting cardiac tissue contracts spontaneously without stimulation.25. The three-dimensional claim 23 , synchronously contracting cardiac tissue of claim 23 , wherein the spontaneous contraction frequency ranges from 0.59 to 1.53 Hertz.26. The ...
