Driven by enormous clinical need, myocardial tissue engineering has become a prime focus
of research within the field of tissue engineering. Myocardial tissue engineering combines …

Tissue engineering has emerged as a rapidly expanding approach to address the organ
shortage problem. It is an “interdisciplinary field that applies the principles and methods of …

Preadipocytes are present throughout adult life in adipose tissues and can proliferate and
differentiate into mature adipocytes according to the energy balance. An increasing number …

Skeletal muscle cell-derived grafts in the heart may benefit myocardial performance after
infarction. Several studies have suggested that skeletal muscle stem cells (satellite cells) …

Survival and differentiation of myogenic cells grafted into infarcted myocardium have raised
the hope that cell transplantation becomes a new therapy for cardiovascular diseases. The …

Aim Experimental animal studies suggest that the use of skeletal myoblast in patients with
myocardial infarction may result in improved cardiac function. The aim of the study was to …

In postnatal muscle, skeletal muscle precursors (myoblasts) can be derived from satellite
cells (reserve cells located on the surface of mature myofibers) or from cells lying beyond the …

The clinical goals of tissue engineering are to restore, repair, or replace damaged or lost
tissues in the body. Significant progress has been made in recent years, which includes the …

Tissue engineering is a broad term describing a set of tools at the interface of the biomedical
and engineering sciences that use living cells or attract endogenous cells to aid tissue …

Cellular transplantation is emerging as a potential mechanism with which to augment
myocyte number in diseased hearts. To date a number of cell types have been shown to …
