Tissue-Engineered Cardiac Constructs for Cardiac Repair
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2011Several recent basic research studies have described surgical methods for cardiac repair using tissue cardiomyoplasty. This review summarizes recent advances in cardiac repair using bioengineered tissue from the viewpoint of the cardiac surgeon. We conclude that the results of many basic and preclinical studies indicate that bioengineered tissue can be

Whole Cardiac Tissue Bioscaffolds
2018Bioscaffolds serve as structures for cells in building complex tissues and full organs including heart. Decellularizing cardiac tissue results in cell-free extracellular matrix (ECM) that can be used as a cardiac tissue bioscaffold. The field of whole-heart tissue engineering has been revolutionized since the 2008 publication of the first perfusion ...

Cardiac muscle tissue engineering
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 2003Cell-based therapy has emerged as a novel approach for replacing heart muscle, which is known not to regenerate after injury such as that caused by infarction or reconstructive surgery. Two types of cell-based therapies have been employed: injection of isolated cells or the implantation of in-vitro-grown cardiac muscle tissue equivalents In the first ...

Cardiac endothelium and tissue growth
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1997In recent years, a number of peptide and nonpeptide signalling autacoids have been implicated in the regulation of cardiac myocyte growth as well as vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, and in the function of cardiac muscle following development. In this review, we first examine the evidence for a role for specific cytokines during cardiac ontogeny ...

Intramural resistivity of cardiac tissue
Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing, 1979The macroscopic resistivity of canine ventricular tissue has been measuredin vivo. Using a tetrapolar intramural electrode, values have been obtained for transmural resistivity as a function of depth, phase of the cardiac cycle and of the frequency of the applied current. The time course of resistivity owing to induced local ischaemia has been recorded.

Bioreactors for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2018AbstractThe advances in biotechnology, biomechanics, and biomaterials can be used to develop organ models that aim to accurately emulate their natural counterparts. Heart disease, one of the leading causes of death in modern society, has attracted particular attention in the field of tissue engineering.

Hydrogels for cardiac tissue regeneration
Bio-Medical Materials and Engineering, 2008Our research is focused on the design of engineered biomaterials that can harness natural cellular and molecular healing pathways to enhance functional tissue regeneration. Two important considerations for tissue regeneration are induction and remodeling.

Pacemaker Mechanisms in Cardiac Tissue
Annual Review of Physiology, 1993The heartbeat is a sign of life, and not surprisingly it has attracted much interest and curiosity since the early stages of scientific investigation. Even Leonardo da Vinci, in his anatomical studies, realized that rhythmic, restless activity was an intrinsic property of cardiac muscle (92), "As to the heart: it moves itself, and doth never stop ...
