Abstract excerpt
Vascularization is a prerequisite to achieve tissue regeneration especially for long-term survival of a scaffold. During the regeneration process, the delivery of angiogenic factors is very important for developing a vascular network. In this paper, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-loaded 3D porous bacterial cellulose/gelatin (B/G) scaffolds modified with heparin were firstly prepared. The pro-angiogenic...
