Cardiac tissue engineering [PDF]
We hypothesized that clinically sized (1-5 mm thick),compact cardiac constructs containing physiologically high density of viable cells (≈108 cells/cm3) can be engineered in vitro by using biomimetic culture systems capable of providing oxygen transport ...

Engineered cardiac tissues [PDF]
Cardiac tissue engineering offers the promise of creating functional tissue replacements for use in the failing heart or for in vitro drug screening. The last decade has seen a great deal of progress in this field with new advances in interdisciplinary areas such as developmental biology, genetic engineering, biomaterials, polymer science, bioreactor ...

Cardiac Tissue Engineering [PDF]
The first 2 reviews in this series have described the defining properties of stem cells, their possible sources, and some initial attempts at their clinical use for tissue regeneration and repair. This third and final article in the series describes bioengineering methods for building physical structures to contain and organize implanted cells.

Engineering virtual cardiac tissue [PDF]
The kinetics of proteins involved in ion transfer, sequestration and binding in cardiac cells can be modelled to construct a model of the electrical activity of isolated cardiac cells as a system of ordinary differential equations. These cell models may be incorporated into tissue models, which, when combined with histology and anatomy, form virtual ...

Advances in Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Tissue engineering has paved the way for the development of artificial human cardiac muscle patches (hCMPs) and cardiac tissue analogs, especially for treating Myocardial infarction (MI), often by increasing its regenerative abilities. Low engraftment rates, insufficient clinical application scalability, and the creation of a functional vascular system

Living myocardial slices for the study of nucleic acid-based therapies
Gene therapy based on viral vectors offers great potential for the study and the treatment of cardiac diseases. Here we explore the use of Living Myocardial Slices (LMS) as a platform for nucleic acid-based therapies. Rat LMS and Adeno-Associated viruses

Nanomaterials for Cardiac Tissue Engineering [PDF]
End stage heart failure is a major cause of death in the US. At present, organ transplant and left-ventricular assist devices remain the only viable treatments for these patients. Cardiac tissue engineering presents the possibility of a new option. Nanomaterials such as gold nanorods (AuNRs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) present unique properties that ...
