Generally speaking, a biological pacemaker is one or more types of cellular components that, when "implanted or injected into certain regions of the heart," produce specific electrical stimuli that mimic that of the body's natural pacemaker cells. It's indicated for issues such as heart block, slow heart rate, and asynchronous heart ventricle contractions.
Biological pacemaker
Disclosed are methods and systems for modulating electrical behavior of cardiac cells. Preferred methods include administering a polynucleotide or cell-based composition that can modulate cardiac contraction to desired levels, i.e., the administered composition functions as a biological pacemaker.

InactiveUS20080103537A1Modulating cardiac functionHeart stimulatorsCardiac pacemaker electrodeCardiac functioning
Heart pacing systems include at least one electronic or biological pacemaker as a primary pacemaker, and at least one electronic or biological pacemaker as a backup pacemaker. When implanted, the primary pacemaker(s) produce primary pacing stimuli that modulate cardiac function. The backup pacemaker(s) provide backup pacing stimuli when the electronic pacemaker is unable to modulate cardiac function at the predetermined pacing rate. The heart pacing systems are implemented by implantation in regions where they can provide pacing stimuli to cardiac tissue.

The present invention provides methods and compositions relating to the labeling of target cells with nanometer scale fluorescent semiconductors referred to as quantum dots (QDs). Specifically, a delivery system is disclosed based on the use of negatively charged QDs for delivery of a tracking fluorescent signal into the cytosol of target cells via a passive endocytosis-mediated delivery process.

Biological Pacemakers Incorporating HCN2 and SkM1 Genes
InactiveUS20160333071A1Cell receptors/surface-antigens/surface-determinantsPeptide/protein ingredientsIn vivoCyclic nucleotide
It is demonstrated that hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN)-based biological pacing, especially that achieved by transduction of the HCN2 gene into cardiac cells in vivo, was significantly improved by co-transduction of the skeletal muscle sodium channel 1 (SkMI) gene. Expression of both genes hyperpolarized the action potential (AP) threshold. When viral biological pacemaker constructs carrying genes for HCN2 and SkMI were injected into the heart of dogs in vivo, the pacemaker function was facilitated by the slow depolarizing HCN2 current and the hyperpolarized AP threshold generated by SkMI. This dual gene therapy provided both highly efficient pacing and a brisk autonomic response that is superior to those of previously developed gene- or cell-based approaches.
