Biocompatible Carbon Nanotube–Chitosan Scaffold Matching the Electrical Conductivity of the Heart

[Image: see text] The major limitation of current engineered myocardial patches for the repair of heart defects is that insulating polymeric scaffold walls hinder the transfer of electrical signals between cardiomyocytes. This loss in signal transduction results in arrhythmias when the scaffolds are...
