Cyborg Heart ***** Replaces Dead Cardiac Tissue with Combination of Healthy Cells, Electronics
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/cardiac-*****.jpg
Scientists at Tel Aviv University in Israel have developed a “cyborg heart *****” for replacing injured cardiac tissue. There has been considerable research on creating scaffolds seeded with cardiac cells, but simply delivering a bunch of cells in a neat package produces underwhelming results. The new ***** developed at TAU integrates electronics alongside the cellular scaffold to both monitor and influence the activity of the cells.
The device can record intercellular electrical activity and deliver pulses to make the cardiomyocytes contract*to a defined beat. Additionally, the researchers demonstrated that the electrodes within the ***** can be covered with ***** to provide controlled release of medication right to the nearby heart cells.
This is certainly an impressive achievement that may herald a truly therapeutic approach for treating cardiac infarcts and other conditions of the heart.
