Mussel-inspired conductive nanofibrous membranes repair myocardial infarction by enhancing cardiac function and revascularization

The controversy between polypyrrole's (Ppy) biocompatibility and its aggregation on nanofibers impedes application of conductive Ppy-incorporated nanofibers to create engineered cardiac microenvironments. The purpose of this study was to fabricate a functional scaffold for engineering cardiac patches (ECP) using a high concentration of methyl acrylic anhydride-gelatin (GelMA)-Ppy nanoparticles, mussel-inspired crosslinker, and electrospun...
