Preparation of acellular myocardial scaffolds with well-preserved cardiomyocyte lacunae, and method for applying mechanical and electrical simulation to tissue construct
Abstract
Cardiac tissue engineering/regeneration using decellularized myocardium has attracted great research attention due to its potential benefit for myocardial infarction (MI) treatment. Here we describe an optimal decellularization protocol to generate 3D porcine myocardial scaffolds with well-preserved cardiomyocyte lacunae and a multi-stimulation bioreactor that is able to provide coordinated mechanical and electrical stimulation for facilitating cardiac construct development. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
