Design and development of novel biomaterials for cardiac tissue engineering

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide. Myocardial infarction is among them, usually leading to heart failure due to the inability of the cardiomyocytes to regenerate. It is thus imperative to develop strategies in order to assist these patients. Tissue engineering is on...
