Circumferentially Aligned Electrospun Vascular Grafts Improves Its Vascular Regeneration and Remodeling in vivo by Xiong M, Yang L, Liu X, Luo S, Wang Y

“…Whereas the expression level of inflammatory cytokines initially increased and then eventually reached the normal levels. Moreover, the circumferentially aligned vascular grafts could guide the regeneration of neoarteries, endothelialization formation, enhanced functionality, rapid cellular infiltration and improved extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, as well as generated more microvessels and fewer calcification.Discussion: Our research focused on the long-term performance in vivo of SF/fibrin tubular grafts, which could become a new type of SDVG and help guide the development of next-generation vascular grafts.Keywords: electrospun vascular graft, mechanical, immunoregulation, vascular regeneration and remodeling, vascular tissue engineering…”
