چکیده

Biodegradable synthetic vascular networks are produced via the combination of robocasting and electrospinning techniques. Preliminary revascularization studies using microvascular endothelial cells and human dermal fibroblasts show good attachment and uniform distribution within the vascular networks, highlighting their potential use in vascular tissue engineering applications.
