Professor You Zhengwei's teamhas long been committed to the research of biomedical elastomer, and cooperating with the team of chief physicians Zhao Qiang and Ye Xiaofen to explore its application in the field of tissue repair, biological electronic, important medical problems such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to provide a series of new solutions. In early 2021, they published a study on Nature Medicineunder the title of A perfusable, multi-functional epicardial device improves cardiac function and tissue repair.
