What Role Do Nanofibers Play in Cardiac Tissue Engineering?
Nanofibers are fibrous structures with diameters in the nanometer range. They can be used to create scaffolds that mimic the extracellular matrix of cardiac tissues. These scaffolds support the growth and development of new cardiac cells, thus aiding in the repair of damaged heart tissues. Nanofibers can be engineered to release growth factors that promote tissue regeneration.
