Abstract

Introduction: Pathological remodeling of the cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) post-myocardial infarction (MI) is a key contributor to heart failure (HF). Injectable biomaterials are of clinical interest as they can limit remodeling and stimulate infarct repair. Our objective was to test the ability of the first injectable hydrogel formulations of recombinant human collagen type I (rHCI) and type III (rHCIII) to improve cardiac function post-MI.
