image: Schematic illustration of the design strategy of the epicardial mesh. Conductive nanowires were homogeneously dispersed in rubber, allowing for electrical signal transfer during the entire cardiac cycle. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 22, 2016, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by Jinkyung Park at Institute for Basic Science in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and colleagues was titled, "Electromechanical cardioplasty using a wrapped elasto-conductive epicardial mesh." view more
