Vascular tissue engineering seeks to produce biologically and mechanically responsive vascular substitutes using cells, scaffolds and bioreactors, to address the shortcomings of current vascular interventions such as coronary artery bypass grafts and to create pre-clinical testing platforms to study vascular pathologies...

Several adhesives found in nature perform in ways that synthetic adhesives do not yet match. For example, even though many aquatic organisms have adapted to adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments, it remains an engineering challenge to synthesize biocompatible adhesives that are effective in wet conditions...
