Abstract excerpt
Primary endothelial cells (ECs) are the preferred cellular source for luminal seeding of tissue-engineered (TE) vascular grafts. Research into the potential of ECs for vascular TE has focused particularly on venous rather than arterial ECs. In this study we evaluated the functional characteristics of arterial and venous ECs, relevant for vascular TE. Porcine ECs were isolated from femoral artery (PFAECs) and vein...
