Abstract

-induced and oxygen-glucose deprivation conditions. Moreover, MMG supported endothelial cell migration and facilitated Connexin 43-mediated intercellular coupling. This modular strategy integrates structural programmability with functional performance, establishing a multifunctional cardiac patch platform that combines mechanical compliance, microelectrical modulation, and oxidative stress attenuation, and offering a promising direction for minimally invasive cardiac repair.
