The need for replacement cardiac and skeletal muscle that is capable of restoring the lost structure and function is very large. Our laboratory is approaching this problem by tissue engineering cardiac and skeletal muscle in vitro, with the goal of achieving suffi...
Cardiac muscle tissue is found in the myocardium and is responsible for the contraction of the heart. Cardiac muscle (Textus muscularis cardiacus) It is very easy to overlook and take for granted a particular structure that is not readily visible in the human body. One such example are mus...
The heterogeneity of functional cardiomyocytes arises during heart development, which is essential to the complex and highly coordinated cardiac physiological function. Yet the biological and physiological identities and the origin of the specialized cardiomyocyte populations have not been fully comprehended. ...

After myocardial infarction, resident fibroblasts (Fb) differentiate towards myofibroblasts (MyoFb), generating the scar tissue and the interstitial fibrosis seen in the adjacent myocardium. Fb and MyoFb have the potential to interact with cardiac myocyt
21 Myocardial strain is a more useful early marker of abnormal cardiac muscle structure and function as myocardial tissue compliance will in theory be reduced with increasing fibrosis. As echocardiographic global longitudinal strain (GLS) is predictive of histologic findings of uremic cardiomyopathy and ...
For pediatric cardiology, bioengineered contractile tissues may serve as force generating cardiac patches, heart valve papillary muscle substitutes, or as living therapeutic protein delivery 'devices' when bioengineered from genetically engineered muscle cells. 展开 关键词: Tissue engineering Force generation...
Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in the heart. Highly coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle pump blood into the vessels of the circulatory system. Similar to skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is striated and organized into sarcomeres, possessing the same banding organization as skeletal muscle ...
