The cardiac patch provides appropriate physicochemical properties and mechanical strength for the regeneration of damaged heart tissues. In this work, for the first-time, beetroot (BR) is blended with cerium oxide (CeO2) to produce nanofibrous polyurethane (PU) composite patch using electrospinning....
