The Role of Poly-glycerol Sebacate/Gelatin Coating Layer on Biological Features and Calcification Rate of 3D Melt-Molded Antibacterial Scaffold for Heart Valve Tissue Engineering
“…The topography and physical properties of the lumen can also affect cellular behaviour. 23 The nanostructured surface and nanometer-scale roughness were found to improve EC adhesion and growth. 24,25 Previously, we found that PCL nanofibers forming the innermost layer of a three-layered scaffold can simultaneously inhibit early thrombus formation and accelerate endothelialization compared to commercial ePTFE grafts.…”
A multi-layered small-diameter vascular graft, prepared by 3D printing and electrospinning, was successfully implanted into a canine's femoral artery for 6 months.

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.
