Modeling the mechanical behavior of mono- and multilayer electrospun structures for vascular graft applications comments

by Sophie Lerouge Matthieu Gauthier
Two problems arise when replacing a patient artery by a synthetic vascular graft VG . The first one is the absence of endothelial lining on the lumen side of the graft, related to the inappropriate surface properties and textures, which leads to VG thrombosis...

Prostaglandin E(2) Reverses Scar Tissue Production in Human Kidney Epithelial Cells: Implications for Biomaterial Implantation. comments

by Kim Jones Kimia Sorouri
Myofibroblasts have been implicated in scar tissue formation around biomaterials. When biomaterials are implanted as part of a tissue engineered construct, as a sensor, as a prosthetic or even as a drug delivery device, scar formation fibrosis around the biomaterial often interferes with the intended function...
