Abstract excerpt
The generation of vascular grafts by recruiting autologous cells within the peritoneal cavity has shown promise. However, the microenvironment affects cell differentiation and elastic matrix production. Therefore, this study determined the impact of systematic changes in the average fiber diameter of electrospun poly(ɛ-caprolactone) conduits, and the pore size of pouches used to enclose the conduits, on recruited...
