TISSUE-ENGINEERED ARTERIES CREATED BY DIRECTED REMODELING OF INTACT ARTERIAL SEGMENTS

摘要

Elongating intact artery segments created engineered arteries retaining the intricate features of native arteries, however further development must be performed to increase the overall length gain. We have previously shown the ability to culture control arteries for 27 days, while retaining viability, making this an attractive next step in the development of further elongation techniques.
