Control of the cellular microenvironment is critical for achieving myocardial regeneration. It is a well-known fact that the majority of cells injected into the myocardium do not smvive. Those that survive might not physiologically couple with the native myocardium. This makes the choice of scaffold critical for cardiac tissue engineering. The scaffolds are expected to support the cells as a three-dimensional structure that enables the development of localized extracellular matrix (ECM) and intercellular...
