Abstract excerpt
The lack of available healthy vessels, significant patient morbidity, and high costs hinders the successful clinical utilization of autologous endothelial cells (ECs). Herein we assess the feasibility of using endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) found in circulating blood to engineer a functional endothelium on poly(1,8-octanediol-co-citrate) (POC), a hemocompatible and biodegradable elastomer used in vascular...
