The potential of pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) isolated from the inner mass of
blastocysts are investigated for its ability to differentiate on biocompatible electrospun …

The basic requirement of any engineered scaffold is to mimic the native tissue extracellular
matrix (ECM). Despite substantial strides in understanding the ECM, scaffold fabrication …

Human engineered heart tissues have potential to revolutionize cardiac development
research, drug-testing, and treatment of heart disease; however, implementation is limited by …

AIM: To facilitate engineering of suitable biomaterials to meet the challenges associated with
myocardial infarction. METHODS: Poly (glycerol sebacate)/collagen (PGS/collagen) …

Cardiac tissue engineering via the use of stem cells is the future for repairing impaired heart
function that results from a myocardial infarction. Developing an optimised platform to …

Polysaccharides and proteins profoundly impact the development and growth of tissues in
the natural extra-cellular matrix (ECM). To mimic a natural ECM, polysaccharides were …

3-Dimensional conditions for the culture of Bone Marrow-derived Stromal/Stem Cells
(BMSCs) can be generated with scaffolds of biological origin. Cardiogel, a cardiac fibroblast …

Fibers produced from electrospinning are well-known to be extremely fine with diameters
ranging from tens of nanometers to a few microns. Such ultrafine fibers not only allow for …

Introduction: This article explores the effect of horizontal and vertical setups on blend
electrospinning with two polymers having vastly different properties–poly-ε-caprolactone …

Cardiac tissue engineering is of particular importance in the combination of contracting cells
with a biomaterial scaffold, which serves as a cell-delivery construct, to replace …
