Abstract excerpt
Small-diameter vascular grafts can easily lead to thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia. So the rate of the long-term patency is not satisfactory. Scaffolds that can support the growth of cells and remain stable and passable in vivo are in great demand. Vascular scaffolds were fabricated by electrospinning RGD-recombinant spider silk protein (pNSR32), polycaprolactone (PCL) and chitosan (CS). In addition, the...
