Impact of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in the Vascularization of Osteogenic Scaffolds
The microvascular endothelial network plays an important role in osteogenesis, bone regeneration and bone tissue engineering. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) display a high angiogenic and vasculogenic potential.

Engineered microenvironments for synergistic VEGF - integrin signalling during vascularization [PDF]
We have engineered polymer-based microenvironments that promote vasculogenesis both in vitro and in vivo through synergistic integrin-growth factor receptor signalling. Poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) triggers spontaneous organization of fibronectin (FN) into
