TL;DR: These engineered tissues achieve excitation conduction velocities similar to native myocardial tissue and could function as a full-thickness patch for several cardiovascular defect repair procedures, such as right ventricular outflow track repair for Tetralogy of Fallot, atrial and ventricular septal defect repair, and other cardiac defects, without the risk of inducing cardiac arrhythmias.

A multilayered scaffold of a chitosan and gelatin hydrogel supported by a PCL core for cardiac tissue engineering.
TL;DR: This multi-layered scaffold has sufficient tensile strength and surgical handling for use as a cardiac patch, while allowing migration or pre-loading of cardiac cells in a biomimetic environment to allow for eventual degradation of the patch and incorporation into native tissue.

Use of Myocardial Matrix in a Chitosan-Based Full-Thickness Heart Patch
TL;DR: NRVM cultured on heart matrix scaffold showed improvements in contractile and electrophysiological function, and the influence of different blending ratios of heart matrix to chitosan on porosity and mechanical properties was examined.
Capillary-like network formation by human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells within fibrin/poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels.

TL;DR: It is suggested that AFSC-EC and AFSC have significant vasculogenic and perivasculogenic potential, respectively, and are suited for in vivo evaluation.
Computational simulation modelling of bioreactor configurations for regenerating human bladder
TL;DR: Investigation of a bioreactor suitable for human bladder regeneration showed that increasing the flow rate is necessary due to the decreased permeability at cell densities similar to the human bladder.
