Biomaterials for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading death cause in developed countries (1 of every 3 deaths in the United States in 2008) [1]. Changes in diet and habits are causing CVD to become major mortality pathologies in developing countries too [2] (they are already responsible for a 30% of the world deaths). This group of diseases constitutes a great burden for the national health systems, cons...
متن کاملProtein-engineered biomaterials: highly tunable tissue engineering scaffolds.
A common goal in tissue engineering is to attain the ability to tailor specific cell-scaffold interactions and thereby gain control over cell behavior. The tunable nature of protein-engineered biomaterials enables independent tailoring of a range of biomaterial properties, creating an attractive alternative to synthetic polymeric scaffolds or harvested natural scaffolds. Protein-engineered biom...
متن کاملA P19 Cardiac Cell Line as a Model for Evaluating Cardiac Tissue Engineering Biomaterials
Our objective was to develop a suitable cardiomyocyte progenitor cell line for use in testing biomaterials as potential scaffolds in cardiac tissue engineering. We transfected P19 cells with the human cardiac -actin promoter driving the gene for puromycin resistance, to create a stable cardiomyocyte-selectable P19 cell line, termed P19(CAPuro). Puromycin selection resulted in a 4-10 fold enrich...
متن کاملTissue Engineering: A Biological Solution for Tissue Damage, Loss or End Stage Organ Failure
In recent years the science of tissue engineering has emerged as a powerful tool for the development of a novel set of tissue replacement parts and technologies. Recent advances in the fields of biomaterials, stem cell technologies, growth factor field and biomimetics have created a unique set of opportunities for investigators to fabricate lab-grown tissues from combination of extracellular ma...
متن کاملManufacturing a Biomimetic Biorecator in Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Introduction: The direct approach of cardiac tissue engineering is to mimic the natural tissue of heart, considering the significant role of scaffolding and mechanical simulation. Methods: To achieve this purpose, a composite Polycaprolactone (PCL)/Gelatin electrospun scaffold with a ratio of 70:30 and with the most similarities to the cardiac extracellular matrix was fabricated with aligned ...
