Bioengineering of the Heart

The APL Bioengineering editorial team recognizes the need for addressing heart failure with novel bioengineering approaches. Despite substantial improvements in our understanding of the causes of heart disease and failure, it remains one of the major unresolved health conditions of the 21st century. The articles presented in this collection report on a number of issues related to heart and heart disease, including the development of better cardiac tissue models for drug discovery.
