  • To develop strategies for overcoming size limitations in myocardial tissue engineering.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing current strategies for generating engineered myocardium.
  • Identifying suitable human cell sources for myocardial tissue engineering.
  • Discussing the translation of tissue engineering concepts into clinical trials.

Main Results:

  • Initial studies in rodents show feasibility of in vivo myocardial repair.
  • Generating human myocardium of sufficient size and contractile function remains a challenge.
  • Scalable autologous cardiomyocyte sources are crucial for functional repair.

Conclusions:

  • Advancing myocardial tissue engineering requires scalable cell sources and functional improvements.
  • Addressing cell allocation and overcoming size limitations are pivotal for clinical translation.
  • Further research is necessary to move from preclinical to clinical applications in myocardial repair.
