Utilizing polymers in cardiac tissue engineering holds promise for restoring function to the heart following myocardial infarction, which is associated with grave morbidity and mortality. To properly mimic native cardiac tissue, materials must not only support cardiac cell growth but also have inherent conductive properties. Here, we present an injectable reverse thermal gel (RTG)-based cardiac cell scaffold system that is both biocompatible and conductive. Following the synthesis of a highly fu ...[more]
