Natural Sources of Extracellular Matrix for Cardiac Repair

Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology
Keith L Spinali, Eric G Schmuck

Abstract

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have adopted the use of extracellular matrix (ECM) as a cell delivery device and bioactive regenerative agent. To this end, many ECMs have been investigated for cardiac tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications with variable success. Many sources of natural ECMs have been tested for cardiac applications. Typically, natural ECMs have been made from decellularized organs or tissues and processed into either sheets or injectable hydrogels. This chapter will review natural sources of ECM materials that have been tested as therapeutic agents in models of heart failure.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
