Abstract excerpt
Vascular tissue engineering relies on the combination of patient-derived cells and biomaterials to create new vessels. For clinical application, data regarding the function and behavior of patient-derived cells are needed. We investigated cell growth and functional characteristics of human venous endothelial cells (HVECs) from coronary arterial bypass graft (CABG), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and control...
