A<unk>  is an engineered heart that contains the extracellular structure of a decellularized heart and cellular components from a different source. Such hearts are of particular interest for therapy as well as research into heart disease. The first<unk> s were created in 2008 using cadaveric rat hearts. In 2014, human-sized<unk>  pig hearts were constructed.<unk> s have not been developed yet for clinical use, although the recellularization of porcine hearts with human cells opens the door to xenotransplantation.
