Ti₂C-cryogel ECP promoted the repair of damaged myocardium. A) Cardiac-specific marker α-actinin expression in the infarct region and patch region of the heart in different groups via immunostaining. Arrows showed the DiI-stained CMs. scale bars = 50 μm B) Corresponding α-actinin positive area and the DiI-labeled CMs coverage area based on the immunostaining images. n = 3. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. 0 represented the Ti₂C-free cryogel ECP group, 4 represented the Ti₂C-4-cryogel ECP group, and 8 represented the Ti₂C-8-cryogel ECP group.
