Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

Mechanical and Electrical Phenotype of hiPSC‐Cardiomyocytes on Fibronectin‐Based Hydrogels

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce fibronectin‐based PEG hydrogels with controlled rigidity to enable the culture of iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes. These substrates offer an alternative to the current culture of these cells on fibronectin‐coated glass, providing enhanced structural and functional behavior. The system provides a more physiologically relevant platform to assess

Application of instant assembly of collagen to bioprint cardiac tissues

APL Bioengineering
Advancing cardiac tissue engineering requires innovative fabrication techniques, including 3D bioprinting and tissue maturation, to enable the generation of new muscle for repairing or replacing damaged heart tissue. Recent advances in tissue engineering

Butyrate-engineered yeast activates Nppa and Sgcg genes and reduces radiation-induced heart damage via the gut-heart axis

Pharmacological Research
Radiotherapy is a method of treating cancer through radiation aimed at killing cancer cells or inhibiting their growth. However, radiotherapy has numerous side effects because it kills tumors while causing damage to normal cells or tissues.

Geometrically Tunable Scaffold‐Free Muscle Bioconstructs for Treating Volumetric Muscle Loss

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Volumetric muscle loss is associated with traumatic muscle resulting in permanent functional impairment. Mold‐based, scaffold‐free, high‐density muscle tissue bioconstructs are developed in customizable geometric shapes and sizes. The transplanted rectangular solid‐shaped muscle bioconstructs improved muscle force recovery and tissue regeneration in ...

Curcumin: footprints on cardiac tissue engineering

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2019
Introduction: Curcumin-based products are extensively used as therapeutics in the treatment of cardiac disorders; however, there is no significant report on the curcumin potentials in cardiac tissue engineering applications. Due to its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties, curcumin has been demonstrated to be a promising ...

Biocompatibility of PCL-Graphene Nanostructured Scaffolds with Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell-derived Cardiomyocytes [PDF]

, 2015
Since adult cardiomyocytes are not readily available for clinical use, numerous efforts have been made to derive functional cardiomyocytes from pluripotent stem cells. [1,2]. A variety of cardiovascular tissue engineering strategies have been explored to

A modeling framework for contact, adhesion and mechano-transduction between excitable deformable cells

, 2017
Cardiac myocytes are the fundamental cells composing the heart muscle. The propagation of electric signals and chemical quantities through them is responsible for their nonlinear contraction and dilatation. In this study, a theoretical model and a finite
