Towards an in vitro cardiac model: 3D environment, co-culture, alignment, and mechanical stimulation impact on cell behavior

Fatemeh Navaee

Our aim is to develop a 3D model unit of cardiac muscle: an in-vitro analog of the trabeculae carneae found in vivo. As a base hydrogel matrix for cardiomyocyte culture in 3D, we develop a blend of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) and fibrin. Thi ...

Additives: Their Influence on the Humidity- and Pressure-Induced Crystallization of Amorphous CaCO3

Esther Amstad, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher

Nature possesses a unique control over the formation of CaCO3 crystals that imparts fascinating mechanical properties to many CaCO3-based biomaterials. This high level of control is, at least in part, achieved through the use of certain soluble additives t ...
