The past 20 years have witnessed ever-growing evidence that the mechanical properties of
biological tissues, from nanoscale to macroscale dimensions, are fundamental for cellular …

Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer worldwide, with myocardial infarction (MI)
responsible for approximately 1 in 6 deaths. The lack of endogenous regenerative capacity …

Rationale: One goal of cardiac tissue engineering is the generation of a living, human pump
in vitro that could replace animal models and eventually serve as an in vivo therapeutic …

The results of a lab-on-chip (LOC) platform fabrication equipped with a hydrogel matrix is
reported. A 3D printing technique was used to provide a hybrid,“sandwiched” type structure …

Abstract 144Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has become a promising approach to
constructing functional biomimetic tissues for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine …

Surface electrode arrays are mainly fabricated from rigid or elastic materials, and precisely
manipulated ductile metal films, which offer limited stretchability. However, the living tissues …

It is a long‐standing challenge to exploit cellular uptake mechanisms to deliver desired
cargo into cells, for example, specific drugs or gene editing techniques. This study …

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of death worldwide. The most common conditions that
lead to HF are coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, valve disorders, high blood …

The pathophysiology of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), one major cause of heart failure, is
characterized by the dilation of the heart but remains poorly understood because of the lack …

Due to the limited regenerative capacity of the natural human myocardium, 3D printing of the
cyclic polyester poly (glycerol sebacate)(PGS) offers a promising alternative to produce …
