Abstract EN
Owing to the inability of self-replacement by a damaged myocardium, alternative strategies to heart transplantation have been explored within the last decades and cardiac tissue engineering/regenerative medicine is among the present challenges in biomedical research.
Hopefully, several studies witness the constant extension of the toolbox available to engineer a fully functional, contractile, and robust cardiac tissue using different combinations of cells, template bioscaffolds, and biophysical stimuli obtained by the use of specific bioreactors.
Mechanical forces influence the growth and shape of every tissue in our body generating changes in intracellular biochemistry and gene expression.
That is why bioreactors play a central role in the task of regenerating a complex tissue such as the myocardium.
In the last fifteen years a large number of dynamic culture devices have been developed and many results have been collected.
The aim of this brief review is to resume in a single streamlined paper the state of the art in this field.
