mechanical strength while supporting cyclic contraction of the cardiac cells
(Walsh 2005; Camci-Unal etal. 2014; Lanza etal. 2014). Biomaterials can be
obtained naturally by either using cardiac tissue ECM (decellularized matrix)
(Wainwright etal. 2010; Duan etal. 2011) or can be chemically synthesized
(Chen et al. 2008). Natural biomaterials such as collagen are considered to
be suitable candidates for cardiac regeneration since they are biocompatible
in nature and induce different signals to cells through surface receptor inter-
actions (Vunjak-Novakovic etal. 2010). Furthermore, these materials can be
patterned using microcontact printing or micromolding techniques to provide
sufficient anisotropy for ...
