Young developmental age cardiac extracellular matrix promotes the expansion of neonatal cardiomyocytes in vitro.

TLDR
The effects of fetal, neonatal and adult cardiac ECM on the expansion of neonatal rat ventricular cells in vitro are studied and it is suggested that proliferation may be a major mechanism of cardiomyocyte expansion on young ECM.

Electrical and mechanical stimulation of cardiac cells and tissue constructs.

TL;DR: The biological underpinnings of both mechanical and electrical signaling, as identified via studies related to cardiac development and those related to an evaluation of cardiac disease progression are sought, as well as the development of bioreactors that combine electrical and mechanical stimulation in order to mimic the complex signaling environment present in vivo.

Naturally Engineered Maturation of Cardiomyocytes

TL;DR: Although the end goal is to achieve adult phenotypic maturity, more emphasis must be placed on elucidating how the in vivo fetal microenvironment drives cardiomyocyte maturation, to make prominent progress in pluripotent stem cell-derived maturity toward a more clinically relevant model for cardiac regeneration.

Evidence for cardiomyocyte renewal in humans

TL;DR: The capacity to generate cardiomyocytes in the adult human heart suggests that it may be rational to work toward the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at stimulating this process in cardiac pathologies.

Perfusion-decellularized matrix: using nature's platform to engineer a bioartificial heart

TL;DR: Eight constructs decellularized hearts by coronary perfusion with detergents, preserved the underlying extracellular matrix, and produced an acellular, perfusable vascular architecture, competent a cellular valves and intact chamber geometry that could generate pump function in a modified working heart preparation.

Transient regenerative potential of the neonatal mouse heart

TL;DR: It is found that the hearts of 1-day-old neonatal mice can regenerate after partial surgical resection, but this capacity is lost by 7 days of age, which means that for a brief period after birth, the mammalian heart appears to have the capacity to regenerate.

Decellularization of tissues and organs

TL;DR: The most commonly used decellularization methods are described, and consideration give to the effects of these methods upon the biologic scaffold material.

The extracellular matrix as a biologic scaffold material.

TL;DR: The factors that appear important for the constructive remodeling of ECM biologic scaffolds are its ability to be rapidly and completely degraded with the generation of downstream bioactive molecules and the ability to engineer its mechanical properties at the time of implantation through an understanding of its collagen fiber microstructure.
