Silk-based electrospun tubular scaffolds for tissue-engineered vascular grafts.
Electrospinning was used to fabricate non-woven nanofibrous tubular scaffolds from Bombyx mori silk fibroin using an all aqueous process. Cell studies and mechanical characterization tests were performed on the electrospun silk tubes to assess the viability of their usage in bioengineering small-diameter vascular grafts. Human endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells were successfully cultured...
متن کاملMicropatterning of three-dimensional electrospun polyurethane vascular grafts.
The uniform alignment of endothelial cells inside small-diameter synthetic grafts can be directed by surface topographies such as microgrooves and microfibers to recapitulate the flow-induced elongation and alignment of natural endothelium. These surface micropatterns may also promote directional migration and potentially improve anastomotic ingrowth of endothelial cells inside the synthetic gr...
متن کاملAngiogenic potential of human macrophages on electrospun bioresorbable vascular grafts.
The aim of this study was to investigate macrophage interactions with electrospun scaffolds and quantify the expression of key angiogenic growth factors in vitro. This study will further help in evaluating the potential of these electrospun constructs as vascular grafts for tissue repair and regeneration in situ. Human peripheral blood macrophages were seeded in serum free media on electrospun ...
متن کاملElectrospun scaffolds for tissue engineering of vascular grafts.
There is a growing demand for off-the-shelf tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) for the replacement or bypass of damaged arteries in various cardiovascular diseases. Scaffolds from the decellularized tissue skeletons to biopolymers and biodegradable synthetic polymers have been used for fabricating TEVGs. However, several issues have not yet been resolved, which include the inability to m...
متن کاملDevelopment of Novel, Bioresorbable, Small-Diameter Electrospun Vascular Grafts
This study proposes a production method capable of producing vascular grafts from fully synthetic, resorbable polymers that both meet basic minimum mechanical requirements for potential vascular grafts, and have a compliance similar to that of the intended vasculature being replaced. All of the electrospun vascular grafts in this work meet the minimum mechanical requirements for compliance, bur...
