Abstract excerpt
Tissue-engineered small-diameter vascular grafts are needed for patients requiring replacement of their injured coronary and below-the-knee vessels. Understanding the interactions between the scaffolds and implanted cells and therefore the phenotype control of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is critical for constructing functional vascular grafts. In this study, the effect of nanofibrous (NF) poly-L-lactide (PLLA)...
