Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

33.9K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Tissues

85.7K
Cells with similar structure and function are grouped into tissues. A group of tissues with a specialized function is called an organ. There are four main types of tissue in vertebrates: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

Construction of Root Locus01:15

Construction of Root Locus

423
The construction of a root locus involves several key steps to analyze and visualize the behavior of a system's poles with varying gain. The number of branches in the root locus equals the number of closed-loop poles and is symmetrical about the real axis.
For positive gain values, the root locus exists on the real axis to the left of an odd number of finite open-loop poles or zeros. The root locus starts at the open-loop poles and traces the paths of the closed-loop poles as the gain...

Construction of Frequency Distribution

12.9K
A frequency distribution table can be constructed using the steps given below.
First, make a table with two columns—one with the title of the data that needs to be organized, and the other column for frequency. [Draw a third column for tally marks if needed]. Then, take a look at the items given in the data set and decide if an ungrouped frequency distribution table or a grouped frequency distribution table would be more suitable. If there are large sets of different values, then it is...

Bode Plots Construction01:24

Bode Plots Construction

1.2K
The Bode plot is an essential tool in control system analysis, mapping the frequency response of a system through a magnitude plot and a phase plot, both against a logarithmic frequency axis. To construct a Bode plot, consider the transfer function H(ω):

Cardiac Output II: Effect of Stroke Volume on Cardiac Output01:22

Cardiac Output II: Effect of Stroke Volume on Cardiac Output

3.5K
Cardiac output (CO), the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute, is a parameter in cardiovascular physiology determined by stroke volume and heart rate. Stroke volume, the amount of blood pushed from one of the ventricles per heartbeat, is influenced by preload, afterload, and contractility.
Preload
Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...

Summary

Bioengineered cardiac tissue constructs using adult rat cardiomyocytes show promise for treating heart defects. Indirectly plated, dedifferentiated cells yielded superior electromechanical properties compared to freshly isolated cells.

Area of Science:

  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Cardiovascular Research

Background:

  • Adult cardiomyocytes are crucial for cardiac tissue engineering.
  • Existing methods face challenges in creating functional cardiac constructs.
  • Developing robust bioengineered cardiac tissues is vital for treating heart conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To bioengineer functional cardiac tissue constructs using adult rat cardiomyocytes.
  • To analyze and compare the electromechanical properties of constructs made with dedifferentiated versus fresh cardiomyocytes.
  • To establish a reliable protocol for generating three-dimensional cardiac tissues.

Main Methods:

  • Adult rat cardiomyocytes were isolated using collagenase type II and Langendorff perfusion.
  • Cardiac tissue constructs were fabricated on a fibrin gel matrix.
  • Two plating methods were used: indirect plating of dedifferentiated cells and direct plating of fresh cells.

Main Results:

  • Both construct types contracted for up to 30 days, exhibiting detectable electrogram (ECG) signals and contractile forces.
  • Indirectly plated, dedifferentiated cardiomyocyte constructs showed significantly higher ECG R wave amplitude (15.1 ± 5.2 µV) and twitch force (70-110 µN) at a faster rate (~390 bpm).
  • Directly plated fresh cardiomyocyte constructs exhibited lower ECG R wave amplitude (6.3 ± 2.5 µV), twitch force (40-60 µN), and contraction rate (~230 bpm).

Conclusions:

  • Successfully bioengineered three-dimensional cardiac tissue constructs using primary adult cardiomyocytes.
  • Indirect plating of dedifferentiated cardiomyocytes significantly enhances the electromechanical function of cardiac tissue constructs.
  • This study provides a foundation for developing advanced cardiac tissue engineering strategies for therapeutic applications.
