Engineered cardiac patches for treating damaged heart tissues after a heart attack are
normally produced by seeding heart cells within three-dimensional porous biomaterial …

Conducting polymer hydrogels (CPHs) emerge as excellent functional materials, as they
harness the advantages of conducting polymers with the mechanical properties and …

Tissue-engineered grafts may be useful in myocardial repair; however, previous scaffolds
have been structurally incompatible with recapitulating cardiac anisotropy. Here, we use …

Cardiac tissue engineering aims to create functional tissue constructs that can reestablish
the structure and function of injured myocardium. Engineered constructs can also serve as …

Engineered cardiac tissues hold promise for cell therapy and drug development, but exhibit
inadequate function and maturity. In this study, we sought to significantly improve the …

The recent progress made in the bioengineering of cardiac patches offers a new therapeutic
modality for regenerating the myocardium after myocardial infarction (MI). We present here a …
