Highly Elastic Micropatterned Hydrogel for Engineering Functional Cardiac Tissue.
Heart failure is a major international health issue. Myocardial mass loss and lack of contractility are precursors to heart failure. Surgical demand for effective myocardial repair is tempered by a paucity of appropriate biological materials. These materials should conveniently replicate natural human tissue components, convey persistent elasticity, promote cell attachment, growth and conformab...
متن کاملReinforcement of a decellularized extracellular matrix-derived hydrogel using nanofibers for cardiac tissue engineering
The role of heart disease in increasing worldwide death and the limited availability of organs for transplantation have encouraged multiple strategies to fabricate functional and implantable constructs. One of these strategies is to develop a biologically similar heart tissue scaffold, in which two types of fiber and hydrogel are commonly used. Toward this goal, taking advantage of both hydroge...

متن کاملCardiac Extracellular Matrix-Fibrin Hydrogel Scaffolds with Tunable Properties for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Introduction: Heart disease is currently the leading cause of death worldwide [1]. The majority of available therapies are geared toward slowing down the progression of heart disease and not toward restoring the contractile function of the affected tissues [2]. Extracellular matrix (ECM) obtained from decellularized cardiac tissue is a promising scaffold material that can be utilized to repair ...
متن کاملPhotocrosslinkable Gelatin Hydrogel for Epidermal Tissue Engineering.
Natural hydrogels are promising scaffolds to engineer epidermis. Currently, natural hydrogels used to support epidermal regeneration are mainly collagen- or gelatin-based, which mimic the natural dermal extracellular matrix but often suffer from insufficient and uncontrollable mechanical and degradation properties. In this study, a photocrosslinkable gelatin (i.e., gelatin methacrylamide (GelMA...
