Abstract
A method of formulating and delivering a bioelectric thread within tissue is provided by inserting a tube-loaded needle having the bioelectric thread contained therein within tissue, and removing the needle and tube thereby leaving the bioelectric thread within the tissue, wherein the bioelectric thread includes a crosslinked material substrate having electrically conductive cells, such as cardiomyocytes seeded thereon or within.
Claims43
An electrically conductive biological device comprising
- a biocompatible support material, and
- electrical impulse transmitting cells adhered to the surface of the biocompatible support material or contained within the biocompatible support material as a matrix, wherein the biocompatible support material is optionally crosslinked, and
- wherein the electrical impulse transmitting cells are in the form of a network of electrically conductive electrical impulse transmitting cells supported by the biocompatible support material.
