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...

FXIIIa-Crosslinkable Synthetic Macromers Improve Stiffness and Adhesion of Hemophilia B Blood Clots under Fibrinolytic Conditions comments

by Christian Kastrup Karen Chan
Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that affects roughly 1 in 5000 live births. A form of this disease, hemophilia B, is caused by deficiencies of the clotting protein, factor IX FIX , which is part of the coagulation cascade that, when activated by vascular injury, generates fibrin and its crosslinker, factor XIIIa FXIIIa ...
