MXene Functionalized Collagen Biomaterials for Cardiac Tissue Engineering Driving iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocyte Maturation

Conductive biohybrid platforms were engineered by blending collagen type I and 2D MXene and afterwards, covalently crosslinking, to harness the biofunctionality of the protein component and the increased stiffness and enhanced electrical conductivity that two-dimensional titanium carbide provides.
