In vitro engineering of heart muscle: artificial myocardial tissue.
INTRODUCTION Myocardial infarction followed by heart failure represents one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality, particularly in industrialized countries. Engineering and subsequent transplantation of contractile artificial myocardial tissue and, consequently, the replacement of ischemic and infarcted areas of the heart provides a potential therapeutic alternative to whole organ tran...
متن کاملNoninvasive Measurement of EKG Properties of 3D Artificial Heart Muscle
Developing and testing a custom fabricated 16-electrode noninvasive direct contact system was necessary to assess the electrical properties of bioengineered heart muscle and to further evaluate the efficacy of cardiac constructs. By culturing neonatal rat primary cardiac cells on a fibrin gel, we constructed 3D artificial heart muscle (3D-AHM), as described in previous studies, which were used ...
متن کاملEngineering stable topography in dense bio-mimetic 3D collagen scaffolds.
Topographic features are well known to influence cell behaviour and can provide a powerful tool for engineering complex, functional tissues. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of formation of a stable micro-topography on plastic compressed (PC) collagen gels. The uni-directional fluid flow that accompanies PC of collagen gels creates a fluid leaving surface (FLS) and a non-fluid lea...

متن کاملHeart muscle engineering: an update on cardiac muscle replacement therapy.
Cardiac muscle engineering aims at providing functional myocardium to repair diseased hearts and model cardiac development, physiology, and disease in vitro. Several enabling technologies have been established over the past 10 years to create functional myocardium. Although none of the presently employed technologies yields a perfect match of natural heart muscle, it can be anticipated that hum...
