AbstractPurpose: Biomaterial and stem cell delivery are promising approaches to treating myocardial infarction. However, the mechanical and biochemical mechanisms underlying the observed therapeutic benefits require further clarification. This study aimed to assess the deformation of stem cells injected with the biomaterial into the infarcted heart.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, the oldest AME church in the South, will forever be associated with former President Barack Obama because of his memorable — and melodic — eulogy for the nine victims of a racist massacre in its fellowship hall in June 2015.

AbstractBiomaterial and stem cell delivery are promising approaches to treating myocardial infarction. However, the mechanical and biochemical mechanisms underlying the observed therapeutic benefits require further clarification. This computational study aimed to assess deformation and resulting transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) expression of stem cells injected with the biomaterial into the infarcted heart.
