Abstract:Heart diseases remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide. The development of effective treatments and interventions relies on a deep understanding of cardiac biology. Traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures and animal models fall short in replicating crucial physiological and pathological features of cardiac tissue. In response, 3D cardiac models have emerged, offering a more faithful replication of the native heart tissue’s architecture and functionality in a controlled environment. Although techni… Show more
