Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed the biodegradable material for the preservation of the cardiac function to restrict cardiac remodeling post myocardial infarction. We synthesized the biodegradable material with the biochemical with are approved for the usage in Human. And we proved that the ratio of the compounds can change the physical property. Also we identified the most appropriate mechanical property of the material for the heart in Human. The suitable biocompatibility of the material was proven in the transplant into rat hearts.
