Current Strategies for Engineered Vascular Grafts and Vascularized Tissue Engineering
Blood vessels not only transport oxygen and nutrients to each organ, but also play an important role in the regulation of tissue regeneration. Impaired or occluded vessels can result in ischemia, tissue necrosis, or even life-threatening events. Bioengineered vascular grafts have become a promising alternative treatment for damaged or occlusive vessels.

Collagen-Based Tissue Engineering Strategies for Vascular Medicine
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for the 31% of total death per year, making them the first cause of death in the world. Atherosclerosis is at the root of the most life-threatening CVDs.

Fabrication Techniques for Vascular and Vascularized Tissue Engineering
AbstractImpaired or damaged blood vessels can occur at all levels in the hierarchy of vascular systems from large vasculatures such as arteries and veins to meso‐ and microvasculatures such as arterioles, venules, and capillary networks. Vascular tissue engineering has become a promising approach for fabricating small‐diameter vascular grafts for ...
