Abstract excerpt
Vascularization is the most pressing issue in tissue engineering (TE) since ensuring that engineered constructs are adequately perfused after in vivo transplantation is essential for the construct's survival. The combination of endothelial cells with current TE strategies seems the most promising approach but doubts persist as to which type of endothelial cells to use. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) cells have been...
