Tissue engineering is a burgeoning academic field, however, the clinical and therapeutic promise of tissue and organ replacement has remained largely unrealized. With the possible exceptions of skin, ...

Blood vessels are subjected to complex biomechanical loads, primarily from pressure-driven blood flow. Abnormal loading associated with vascular grafts, arising from altered hemodynamics or wall ...

Vascular grafts are widely used for vascular surgeries, to bypass a diseased artery or function as a vascular access for hemodialysis. Bioengineered or tissue-engineered vascular grafts have long been ...

Similarly, Wang et al. also used PVAm to develop a surfactant polymer to coat ePTFE vascular grafts to prevent platelet adhesion and activation. The authors conjugated dextran to the PVAm backbone, ...

The formation of an endothelial cell lining on the inner surface of polymeric grafts may reduce the inherent thrombogenicity of synthetic implants. Endothelial cell transplantation onto the luminal ...
