Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT: Reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury would significantly improve patient survival. Current preclinical models are inadequate because they rely on animals, which do not emulate human physiology and the clinical setting. We developed a human tissue platform that allowed us to assess the human cardiac response, and demonstrated the platform's utility by measuring injury during ischemia-reperfusion and the effects of cardioprotective strategies. The model provides a foundation for future studies on how patient-specific backgrounds may affect response to therapeutic strategies. These steps will be necessary to help translate therapies into the clinical setting.Entities:
