Abstract
Biomaterials play a vital role in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. To date, a large number of biomaterials have been used in cardiovascular research and application. Recently, biomaterials have held a lot of promise in cardiac stem cell therapy. They are used in cardiac tissue engineering to form scaffolds for cellular transplantation, promote angiogenesis, enhance transplanted cell engraftment or influence cell migration. The science of biomaterial designing has evolved to an extent where they can be designed to mimic the microenvironment of a cardiac tissue in vivo and contribute in deciding the fate of transplanted stem cells and induce cardiac lineage oriented stem cell differentiation. In this review, we focus on biomaterials used in cardiovascular stem cell research, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and conclude with an outlook on future impacts of biomaterial in medical sciences.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
