Abstract excerpt
Tissue engineering holds great promise in providing vascular grafts as substitutes for damaged small-diameter blood vessels. Two of the key factors in vascular tissue engineering are biocompatible scaffolds that mimic the effects of extracellular matrix and the source of seeding cells. Synthetic poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) nanofibers has been shown to be excellent scaffolds for tissue engineering. Outgrowth...
