Optimization of electrical stimulation parameters for cardiac tissue engineering.
In vitro application of pulsatile electrical stimulation to neonatal rat cardiomyocytes cultured on polymer scaffolds has been shown to improve the functional assembly of cells into contractile engineered cardiac tissues. However, to date, the conditions of electrical stimulation have not been optimized. We have systematically varied the electrode material, amplitude and frequency of stimulatio...
متن کاملBiomimetic Electrical Stimulation for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
A major challenge of tissue engineering is directing cells to establish the physiological structure and function of the tissue being replaced. Electrical stimulation has been used to induce synchronous contractions of cultured cardiac constructs. The hypothesis adopted for this study is that functional cardiac constructs can be engineered by "mimicking" the conditions present during cardiac dev...
متن کاملOptimization of Parameters for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering Withdeformational Loading
INTRODUCTION Using functional tissue engineering approaches, a number of culture systems have been developed that incorporate physiologic mechanical signals to foster tissue development (1,2). Short-term studies demonstrate that dynamic deformational loading increases matrix biosynthesis in chondrocyte-seeded agarose hydrogels (3,4). In long term studies, daily dynamic deformational loading (1H...
متن کاملReinforcement of a decellularized extracellular matrix-derived hydrogel using nanofibers for cardiac tissue engineering
The role of heart disease in increasing worldwide death and the limited availability of organs for transplantation have encouraged multiple strategies to fabricate functional and implantable constructs. One of these strategies is to develop a biologically similar heart tissue scaffold, in which two types of fiber and hydrogel are commonly used. Toward this goal, taking advantage of both hydroge...
