Previous attempts in cardiac bioengineering have failed to provide tissues for cardiac regeneration. Recent advances in 3-dimensional bioprinting technology using prevascularized myocardial microtissues as 'bioink' have provided a promising way forward. This review guides the reader to understand why myocardial tissue engineering is difficult to achieve and how revascularization and contractile function could be restored in 3-dimensional bioprinted heart tissue using patient-derived stem cells.
以往在心脏生物工程方面的尝试均未能提供用于心脏再生的组织。最近,利用预先形成血管的心肌微组织作为“生物墨水”的 3 维生物打印技术的进步为我们提供了一个很有前景的方法。本综述引导读者了解心肌组织工程为何难以实现,以及如何使用患者来源的干细胞在 3 维生物打印的心脏组织中恢复血管生成和收缩功能。
