Abstract:Introduction:
Treatments for arteriosclerosis such as bypass surgery use vessel grafts that can cause infections in patients, with more than 50% of these grafts failing within 10 years. Discovering different methods to create vascular replacements in vitro has become one of the major focuses of tissue engineering.
Material and Methods:
Utilizing a novel approach termed the “Ring Stacking Method” we will create tissue resembling that of a blood vessel. W… Show more
