Abstract: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with myocardial infarction (MI) being a serious threat to human health and life. Current pharmacological and surgical interventions primarily serve as palliative measures, failing to address the root cause of cardiomyocyte death post-MI. Recent advances in regenerative biomedical materials, however, offer promising solutions. Inorganic bioactive materials, capable of interacting with cells and tissues to activate cellular responses and modulate tissue regeneration, have garnered significant attention in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Silicate-based biomaterials (e.g., bioceramics, bioactive glasses), carbon-based nanomaterials, and metal oxides exhibit remarkable potential in promoting myocardial repair and regeneration. This review highlights the latest progress in inorganic bioactive materials for myocardial regeneration and repair, elucidates their material categories and mechanisms of action, and discusses current challenges in clinical translation, while providing insights into future research directions.

Key words: inorganic bioactive material, myocardial regeneration, metal oxide, carbon-based material, silicate biomaterial, review
