Smart Scaffolds: z‐Wire: A Microscaffold That Supports Guided Tissue Assembly and Intramyocardium Delivery for Cardiac Repair (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 14/2020)

Abstract

In article number 2000358 by Boyang Zhang and co‐workers, a biodegradable z‐wire scaffold supports gel‐free production of functional cardiac tissues in a 384‐well plate format. Individual z‐wire tissues can be aligned and assembled under magnetic guidance. The z‐wire tissues can be delivered via intramyocardium injection while preserving anisotropic muscle alignment. This modular, smart‐scaffold tissue engineering approach can expand opportunity in functional tissue delivery and assembly.
