Overview on Vascular Tissue Engineering: Progress and Challenges
Today, vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis are one of the leading causes of death in the world and the prevalence of it in older societies is rising. The current treatments for repair of cardiovascular function include organ transplantation, surgical reconstruction, mechanical or artificial devices, or the use of metabolic products. Although these methods are commonly used, they did not g...
متن کاملVascular tissue engineering : designer arteries.
The fields of vascular biology and vascular medicine are so intertwined that advances in one predict, explain, or are required for progress in the other. Bypass grafting, which once served as a “bailout” procedure,1,2 is now performed more than 600 000 times annually in the United States. In major part, this increase can be attributed to a surge in understanding of the vascular response to inju...
متن کاملTissue engineering of vascular grafts
Tissue engineering of vascular grafts 187 1 3 Summary Background There is a considerable clinical need for a sufficient prosthetic small-diameter substitute which can compete with autologous vessels. Currently used synthetic materials have a poor performance due to high thrombogeneicity and development of intimal hyperplasia. Tissue engineering is an interesting alternative approach for vascula...
متن کاملTissue engineering of functional salivary gland tissue.
OBJECTIVES Treatment of conditions that lead to salivary hypofunction, such as radiation induced xerostomia, is currently limited to the administration of saliva substitutes and sialogogues. The transient effect of these medications necessitates frequent administration, and systemic side effects may be intolerable. The creation of implantable, functional salivary gland tissue from autologous gl...
متن کاملVascular tissue engineering by computer-aided laser micromachining.
Many conventional technologies for fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds are not suitable for fabricating scaffolds with patient-specific attributes. For example, many conventional technologies for fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds do not provide control over overall scaffold geometry or over cell position within the scaffold. In this study, the use of computer-aided laser micromachin...
