Pulsatile myocardial tubes fabricated with cell sheet engineering.
BACKGROUND Tissue engineering approaches involving the direct transplantation of cardiac patches have received significant attention as alternative methods for the treatment of damaged hearts. In contrast, we used cardiomyocyte sheets harvested from temperature-responsive culture dishes to create pulsatile myocardial tubes and examined their in vivo function and survival. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
متن کاملPulsatile flow patterns in distensible tubes.
• During the last fifty years a number of physical theories have been proposed in an attempt to describe analytically the behavior of pulsatile flow in the mammalian arterial system. In order to make such an approach to a system of nonuniform, viscoelastic vessels containing a non-Newtonian fluid at all possible, it becomes necessary to introduce simplifying assumptions, the judicious selection...
متن کاملMyocardial cell sheet therapy and cardiac function.
Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of death in developed countries. Regenerative medicine has the potential to drastically improve treatment for advanced HF. Stem cell-based medicine has received attention as a promising candidate therapy over the past decade; however, it has not yet realized this potential in terms of reliability. The cell sheet is an innovative technology for constructin...
متن کاملKeratinocyte cytoskeletal roles in cell sheet engineering
BACKGROUND There is an increasing need to understand cell-cell interactions for cell and tissue engineering purposes, such as optimizing cell sheet constructs, as well as for examining adhesion defect diseases. For cell-sheet engineering, one major obstacle to sheet function is that cell sheets in suspension are fragile and, over time, will contract. While the role of the cytoskeleton in mainta...
متن کاملTissue Engineering Based on Cell Sheet Technology
Recently, cell-based therapies, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering have been progressing rapidly. With the injection of single cell suspensions, the injected cells are expected to remain around the damaged host tissues for the maintenance and recovery of native functions. Injections of bone marrow cells have been applied in many ways, and achieved some good clinical results. However,...
