Gene delivery as a tool to promote the deposition of elastin by smooth muscle cells in collagen gel-based vascular wall models comments

by Diego Mantovani Dimitria Camasao
Vascular tissue engineering usually relies on the cellularization of scaffold materials with vascular cells with the ultimate aim to produce artificial blood vessels substitutes overcoming the drawbacks of current vascular grafts, especially for small diameter vessels...

Mesenchymal progenitor cell differentiation on electrospun poly (ester amide) fibres for vascular tissue engineering comments

by Kibret Mequanint Sarah Kiros
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...

Injectable Thermosensitive Chitosan/Chondroitin Sulfate Hydrogels for Cell Therapy comments

by Sophie Lerouge Yasaman Alinejad
Injectable hydrogels have received much attention to be used as scaffolds for therapeutic cell delivery because of their interesting properties such as biocompatibility, ability to retain water, insignificant mechanical and frictional irritation with the native tissue and having the possibility to be located in the body through minimally invasive operations...
