Objective To review the current status and problems in the developing scaffolds for the myocardial tissue engineering appl ication. Methods The l iterature concerning the myocardial tissue engineering scaffold in recent years was reviewed extensively and summarized. Results As one of three elements for tissue engineering, a proper scafold is very
important for the prol iferation and differentiation of the seeding cells. The naturally derived and synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) materials aim to closely resemble the in vivo microenvironment by acting as an active component of the developing tissue construct in myocardial tissue engineering. With the advent and continuous refinement of cell removal techniques, a new class of native ECM has emerged with some striking advantages. Conclusion Through using the principle of composite scaffold, computers and other high-technology nano-polymer technology, surface modification of traditional biological materials in myocardial tissue engineering are expected to provide ideal myocardial scaffolds.
