Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated after myocardial infarction (MI) result in
the oxidative injury in myocardium. Implantation of antioxidant biomaterials, without the use …

Oxidative stress plays an important role in various pathological conditions, such as wound
healing, inflammation, myocardial infarction, and biocompatibility of the materials …

Myocardial infarction (MI) is still a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide.
Elastomer cardiac patches have shown great potential in preventing left ventricle (LV) …

There has been a growing trend towards applying conducting polymers for electrically
excitable cells to increase electrical signal propagation within the cell-loaded substrates. A …

Objectives: Our objective in this study was to apply an elastic, biodegradable polyester
