Strategies Affording Prevascularized Cell-Based Constructs for Myocardial Tissue Engineering

The production of a functional cardiac tissue to be transplanted in the injured area of the infarcted myocardium represents a challenge for regenerative medicine. Most cell-based grafts are unviable because of inadequate perfusion; therefore, prevascularization might be a suitable approach for myoca...
