Article Synopsis
- Conductive biomaterials can help heart cells called cardiomyocytes grow and develop better in labs.
- A special membrane made of polyurethane and graphene oxide allowed these heart cells to beat more like real heart cells while keeping them strong and stretchy.
- The best results were seen with a membrane that had 10% graphene oxide, which helped the heart cells grow and work more efficiently, showing potential for treating heart diseases.
Article Synopsis
- 3D cardiac engineered constructs are advancing cardiac regenerative medicine by enabling better modeling of both normal and diseased heart tissues, moving beyond basic treatments like heart transplants.
- The review discusses different cell types in cardiac tissues and their connection to modern fabrication techniques for creating these constructs, which can help understand heart diseases and offer new therapeutic options.
- Future directions focus on developing specialized and personalized constructs that accurately replicate the unique structure and function of specific areas in native cardiac tissues.
