Abstract:Entirely biological human tissue-engineered blood vessels (TEBV) were previously developed for clinical use. Tissue-engineered models have also proven to be valuable tools in disease modelling. Moreover, there is a need for complex geometry TEBV for study of multifactorial vascular pathologies, such as intracranial aneurysms. The main goal of the work reported in this article was to produce an entirely human branched small-caliber TEBV. The use of a novel spherical rotary cell seeding system allows effective a… 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.
