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 کاملTissue Engineering in Dentistery
Introduction Perforation of maxillary sinus mucous membrane is of the most prevalent complication during open sinus lift surgery. Moreover, such complication can usually be managed by an absorbable membrane. As far as absorbable membranes are concerned, decellularized maxillary sinus mucous membranes, which is an extracellular matrix, can be used as a biologic scaffold and insulating membrane ...
متن کاملSynthetic biodegradable elastomers for drug delivery and tissue engineering*
Synthetic biodegradable elastomers are an emerging class of materials with many potential clinical applications including drug delivery and tissue engineering. Biodegradable elastomers offer advantages of structure diversity, tunable properties, and a wide range of processing capabilities. This review highlights some recent developments in various aspects of biodegradable materials synthesis, c...
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...
