In the human body, almost all cells interact with extracellular matrices (ECMs), which have
tissue and organ-specific compositions and architectures. These ECMs not only function as …

Heart valves are characterized to be highly flexible yet tough, and exhibit complex
deformation characteristics such as nonlinearity, anisotropy, and viscoelasticity, which are …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a primary cause of death globally. A few classic and
hybrid treatments exist to treat CVDs. However, they lack in both safety and effectiveness …

The restoration of normal functioning of damaged body tissues is one of the major objectives
of tissue engineering. Scaffolds are generally used as artificial supports and as substrates …

Due to the presence of electric fields and piezoelectricity in various living tissues,
piezoelectric materials have been incorporated into biomedical applications especially for …

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease. Myocardial ischemia
