Synthesis, Characterization and Optimization of an In situ Forming Hydrogel Derived from Extracellular Matrix for Cardiac Tissue Engineering Applications  

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Mousavi, Ali (Author) ; Mashayekhan, Shohreh (Supervisor) ; Baheiraei, Nafiseh (Supervisor) ; Pourjavadi, Ali (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Myocardial Infarction occurs due to sudden blockage in a coronary artery and causes necrosis of myocardial tissue. Since myocardium is unable to self-regenerate, cardiac tissue engineering has become a promising therapeutic approach for MI treatment by restoring heart function via combination of cells, biomaterials and signaling factors. For this purpose, myocardial extracellular matrix (ECM) is an attractive biomaterial providing better biomimetic for cultured cells. In this project, we synthesized an in situ forming hydrogel derived from myocardial ECM and for improving mechanical and electrical properties of ECM hydrogel we added oxidized alginate (OA) with 5% oxidation degree and APTMS...
