Engineered Cardiac Tissues
CVET develops human cardiac tissues to study myocardial structure, electrophysiology, contractile function, and response to injury or treatment. These platforms can support both regenerative strategies and human-relevant testing of cardiovascular therapies and technologies. Tissue-Engineered Vascular Grafts
CVET develops tissue-engineered vascular grafts designed to restore blood flow while promoting functional integration and long-term remodeling. Research focuses on biomaterial design, vascular-cell interactions, endothelialization, smooth-muscle regeneration, mechanical performance, and the host response to implantation. These grafts also provide a platform for studying how materials, cells, and therapeutic signals can be combined to create living vascular replacements.
