324 Words2 Pages
Professor Milica Radisica and her team from University of Toronto have developed a tissue scaffold that allows sheets of cardiomyocytes or heart cells to attach together in a similar fashion as velcro. This innovation is biocompatible which means that it can function with living systems such as tissue without causing any harm. This “Tissue Velcro” can be the next step in creating artificial tissues that can instantly replace damaged tissues. While some tissues such as bone, epithelial, and fibrous connective can already regenerate easily other tissues such as the cardiac muscle restore at a much slower pace. Silica Radisica and her team believe that tissue velcro can be the next best thing in imitating different tissue structures. While the
