Vascularization in Bone Tissue Engineering Constructs [PDF]
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2015 Vascularization of large bone grafts is one of the main challenges of bone tissue engineering (BTE), and has held back the clinical translation of engineered bone constructs for two decades so far. The ultimate goal of vascularized BTE constructs is to provide a bone environment rich in functional vascular networks to achieve efficient osseointegration

Animal models for vascular tissue-engineering [PDF]
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2013 Because of rise in cardiovascular disease throughout the world, there is increasing demand for small diameter blood vessels as replacement grafts. The present review focuses on the animal models that have been used to test small-diameter TEVs with emphasis on the attributes of each model.

Vascular Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Circulation Research, 1999 The fields of vascular biology and vascular medicine are so intertwined that advances in one predict, explain, or are required for progress in the other. Bypass grafting, which once served as a “bailout” procedure,1 2 is now performed more than 600 000 times annually in the United States.

Application of microtechnologies for the vascularization of engineered tissues [PDF]
Vascular Cell, 2011 Recent advances in medicine and healthcare allow people to live longer, increasing the need for the number of organ transplants. However, the number of organ donors has not been able to meet the demand, resulting in an organ shortage. The field of tissue engineering has emerged to produce organs to overcome this limitation.
