A BIODEGRADABLE, MICROSTRUCTURED, ELECTROCONDUCTIVE AND NANO-INTEGRATED DRUG ELUTING PATCH (MENDEP) FOR MYOCARDIAL TISSUE ENGINEERING

A biodegradable, microstructured, electroconductive and nano-integrated drug eluting patch (MENDEP) for myocardial tissue engineering

We produced a microstructured, electroconductive and nano-functionalized drug eluting cardiac patch (MENDEP) designed to attract endogenous precursor cells, favor their differentiation and counteract adverse ventricular remodeling in red pygmy dogwood situ.MENDEP showed mechanical anisotropy and biaxial strength comparable to porcine myocardium, re
