Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have adopted the use of extracellular matrix (ECM) as a cell delivery device and bioactive regenerative agent. To this end, many ECMs have been investigated for cardiac tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications with variable success. Many sources of natural ECMs have been tested for cardiac applications. Typically, natural ECMs have been made from decellularized organs or tissues and processed into either sheets or injectable hydrogels. This chapter will review natural sources of ECM materials that have been tested as therapeutic agents in models of heart failure.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 July 2020.
All research outputs
#4,244,144
of 23,103,903 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#702
of 4,976 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#84,336
of 341,592 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#9
of 69 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,903 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,976 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,592 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 69 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
