Novel preparation of Au nanoparticles loaded Laponite nanoparticles/ECM injectable hydrogel on cardiac differentiation of resident cardiac stem cells to cardiomyocytes

Publication date: Available online 28 December 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Youjian Zhang, Weidong Fan, Kuihua Wang, Huina Wei, Ruicheng Zhang, Yuguo WuAbstractCardiac tissue engineering offers a facile biomedical technology to develop a cardiac tissue regeneration or tissue repair by involving combinations of effective biomaterials and nanomaterials with engineering strategies. The cardiac regenerative materials were fabricated by electrically active nanoparticles onto the biocompatible matrix to inspire low-resistance electrical signal in the native heart tissues. In the current report, we investigated on the improvement of cardiac functionally inspired conductive injectable hydrogel fabricated from the electroactive gold (Au) and laponite (...
