Title: A perfusable, multifunctional epicardial device improves cardiac function and tissue repair

Journal: Nature Medicine

Comment: A new multifunctional epicardial treatment device has been developed, which has bionic mechanical properties, can promote angiogenesis, and can be degraded. Implantation of this device in vivo can significantly improve ventricular function, reduce wall stress and myocardial cell apoptosis, and promote blood circulation reconstruction and heart metabolism.
