Regenerating dynamic organs using biomimetic patches

Dynamic organs (e.g., the heart) combine anisotropic cellular and matrix topology with auxetic surface behavior during volumetric expansion or contraction. Biomimetic patches with biomechanical anisotropy and auxetic properties would be useful for dynamic organ regeneration to prevent undue stresses on the organ or premature patch detachment and impart biological effects to support organ function. Biomimetic patches can exert the desired...
