Development of Small-Diameter Elastin-Silk Fibroin Vascular Grafts
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Globally, increasing mortality from cardiovascular disease has become a problem in recent years. Vascular replacement has been used as a treatment for these diseases, but with blood vessels <6 mm in diameter, existing vascular grafts made of synthetic

Small-diameter hybrid vascular grafts composed of polycaprolactone and polydioxanone fibers
Scientific Reports, 2017 Electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) vascular grafts showed good mechanical properties and patency. However, the slow degradation of PCL limited vascular regeneration in the graft.

Engineered vascularized bone grafts [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 Clinical protocols utilize bone marrow to seed synthetic and decellularized allogeneic bone grafts for enhancement of scaffold remodeling and fusion. Marrow-derived cytokines induce host neovascularization at the graft surface, but hypoxic conditions cause cell death at the core.

Enhancement of neoangiogenesis and follicle survival by sphingosine-1-phosphate in human ovarian tissue xenotransplants [PDF]
, 2011 Ovarian transplantation is one of the key approaches to restoring fertility in women who became menopausal as a result of cancer treatments. A major limitation of human ovarian transplants is massive follicular loss during revascularization.
