Abstract
MERIT project exploits tissue engineering solutions, based on the application of multiple in vivo-like biophysical and biochemical cues, to establish user-friendly, predictive, scalable and reliable platforms for the in vitro modelling of human cardiac fibrotic tissue, to be exploited as testing platforms for new precision nanotherapeutics.
