Abstract:The central role of prevascularization of engineered tissue grafts in postimplantational survival and integration is becoming increasingly appreciated. An in‐depth understanding of the regulating factors and intricacies of generation of three‐dimensional vascular networks in vitro will facilitate effective fabrication of clinically relevant vascularized tissues. In this review we aim to examine the influence of different biomaterials on vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, with particular focus on the impact of va… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
