Cell and Collagen Compositions for Engineered Cardiac Tissues for Regeneration
Cell and Collagen Compositions for Engineered Cardiac Tissues for Regeneration Overview During a heart attack it is estimated that 1 billion cardiomyocytes (i.e. heart muscle cells) are killed. Unlike other organs in the body, the heart has a limited capacity to regenerate. This means that the cardiomyocytes lost during a heart attack are replaced...

Quantifying Cell-Derived Changes in Collagen Synthesis, Alignment, and Mechanics in a 3D Connective Tissue Model
Quantifying Cell-Derived Changes in Collagen Synthesis, Alignment, and Mechanics in a 3D Connective Tissue Model Overview The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the body is the network of proteins and other molecules that surrounds cells and tissues. The ECM is directly involved in a variety of essential cellular processes including structural support,...

Mid-scale vessels in engineered tissue for regeneration
Overview Vascularization is a primary concern when developing implantable cardiac tissues, as it is critical for superior engraftment and integration. We have developed a method for engineering a vascular supply for engineered human myocardium to ensure tissue survival and engraftment upon implantation and improve therapeutic efficacy. Market Opportunity Myocardial...

Novel proangiogenic cocktails of growth factors and cytokines to revascularize ischemic tissue
Overview Revascularization of ischemic tissue can be achieved using growth factors to recapitulate native developmental and wound healing cascades, and stimulate angiogenesis and arteriogenesis. These pro-vasculogenic growth factor cocktails can also increase the efficacy and translatability of regenerative therapeutics for clinical uses. We have developed...

Human Atrial Cardiac Microtissues for Chamber-Specific Arrhythmogenic Toxicity Responses
Overview To guide the development of atrial-specific drugs and evaluate their safety, there is a need for in vitro models to accurately assess the cardiotoxic effects of novel therapeutics in both atrial and ventricular cell populations, with high throughput. We have developed a robust in vitro 3D atrial tissue platform made from human-induced pluripotent...

Bespoke Collagen Microfiber Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
­Overview In tissue engineering, cells are generally grown on a scaffold that emulates the cellular environment in the body. Together, the scaffold and cells can be implanted in a patient or serve as a testing platform, for example, to evaluate pharmaceuticals and toxicants. We have developed an accessible, low-cost, and automated method of preparing...
