Cell delivery therapy is a talented and hopeful strategic approach to repair the damaged cardiac tissues after myocardial infarction. The biocompatible injectable hydrogel with bioactive nanomaterials with effective self-healing capability has been highly required for the cell delivery and regeneration therapy. In the present study, we have developed the biopolymeric and biocompatible self-healing silk protein hydrogel matrix with graphene oxide nanoformulations as cell delivery vehicles for the treatment of myocardial infarction regeneration. The materials combinations, structural interactions, thermal stability and morphology of the designed hydrogel were investigated and elaborated. To improve therapeutic potential of the hydrogel matrix, growth factor was loaded and investigated its biological activity such as cell survival and cell proliferations properties by using endothelial progenitor cells. Collected, these developed materials are excellent vesicle for cell therapy in myocardial infarction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
