First Report of Histological Evaluation of Human Tissue-Engineered Vasculature
From September 2001 to December 2004, 25 patients underwent a Fontan procedure using tissue-engineered vasculature (TEV) under informed consent and institutional review board approval [1]. Six of these 25 patients died, although no graft-related mortality occurred. The case presented herein is the first case in which the family agreed to the performance of an autopsy to elucidate the late-term ...
متن کاملLocalization of Engineered Vasculature within 3D Tissue Constructs
Today, in vitro vessel network systems frequently serve as models for investigating cellular and functional mechanisms underlying angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Understanding the cues triggering the observed cell migration, organization, and differentiation, as well as the time frame of these processes, can improve the design of engineered microvasculature. Here, we present first evidence of ...
متن کاملIntroduction of vasculature in engineered three-dimensional tissue
Background With recent developments in tissue engineering technology, various three-dimensional tissues can be generated now. However, as the tissue thickness increases due to three-dimensionalization, it is difficult to increase the tissue scale without introduction of blood vessels. Main text Many methods for vasculature induction have been reported recently. In this review, we introduced s...
متن کاملModeling the mechanics of tissue-engineered human heart valve leaflets.
Mathematical models can provide valuable information to assess and evaluate the mechanical behavior of tissue-engineered constructs. In this study, a structurally based model is applied to describe and analyze the mechanics of tissue-engineered human heart valve leaflets. The results from two orthogonal uniaxial tensile tests are used to determine the model parameters of the constructs after tw...
متن کاملStochastic human fatigue modeling in production systems
The performance of human resources is affected by various factors such as mental and physical fatigue, skill, and available time in the production systems. Generally, these mentioned factors have effects on human reliability and consequently change the reliability of production systems. Fatigue is a stochastic factor that changes according to other factors such as environmental conditions, work...
