Abstract excerpt
Endothelialization of biomaterials is a promising way to prevent intimal hyperplasia of small-diameter vascular grafts. The aim of this study was to design a nanofiber mesh (NFM) that facilitates viability, attachment and phenotypic maintenance of human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). Collagen-coated poly(L-lactic acid)-co-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) P(LLA-CL 70:30) NFM with a porosity of 64-67% and a...
