Combinatorial polymer electrospun matrices promote physiologically-relevant cardiomyogenic stem cell differentiation.

Myocardial infarction results in extensive cardiomyocyte death which can lead to fatal arrhythmias or congestive heart failure. Delivery of stem cells to repopulate damaged cardiac tissue may be an attractive and innovative solution for repairing the damaged heart. Instructive polymer scaffolds with...
