Abstract:Routine cardiovascular interventions such as balloon angioplasty, result in vascular activation and remodeling, often requiring re-intervention. 2D in vitro culture models and small animal experiments have enabled the discovery of important molecular and cellular pathways involved in this process, however the clinical translation of these results is often underwhelming. There is a critical need for an ex vivo model representative of the human vascular physiology and encompassing the complexity of the vascular … Show more
