Elastomers in vascular tissue engineering [PDF]
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2016 Elastomers are popular in vascular engineering applications, as they offer the ability to design implants that match the compliance of native tissue. By mimicking the natural tissue environment, elastic materials are able to integrate within the body to promote repair and avoid the adverse physiological responses seen in rigid alternatives that often ...

Glycosaminoglycans: From Vascular Physiology to Tissue Engineering Applications
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Cardiovascular diseases represent the number one cause of death globally, with atherosclerosis a major contributor. Despite the clinical need for functional arterial substitutes, success has been limited to arterial replacements of large-caliber vessels (

Tissue Engineering the Vascular Tree [PDF]
Tissue Engineering Part B: Reviews, 2017 A major hurdle in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine remains the design and construction of larger (> 1 cm3) in vitro tissues for biological studies and transplantation. While there has been success in creating three-dimensional (3D) capillary networks, relatively large arteries (diameter >3-5 mm), and more recently small ...

Vascularization Strategies for Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Tissue Engineering Part B: Reviews, 2009 Tissue engineering is currently limited by the inability to adequately vascularize tissues in vitro or in vivo. Issues of nutrient perfusion and mass transport limitations, especially oxygen diffusion, restrict construct development to smaller than clinically relevant dimensions and limit the ability for in vivo integration.

Biomaterials for Vascular Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Regenerative Medicine, 2009 Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in the USA. The limited availability of healthy autologous vessels for bypass grafting procedures has led to the fabrication of prosthetic vascular conduits. While synthetic polymers have been extensively studied as substitutes in vascular engineering, they fall short of meeting the biological ...

Fibrin – a promising material for vascular tissue engineering
Вестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2020 This review looks at the use of fibrin in vascular tissue engineering (VTE). Autologous fibrin is one of the most affordable biopolymers because it can be obtained from peripheral blood by simple techniques.

Vascularization Strategies for Tissue Engineers
Regenerative Medicine, 2015 All tissue-engineered substitutes (with the exception of cornea and cartilage) require a vascular network to provide the nutrient and oxygen supply needed for their survival in vivo. Unfortunately the process of vascular ingrowth into an engineered tissue can take weeks to occur naturally and during this time the tissues become starved of essential ...
