Completely Biological Tubes of Cell-Produced Extracellular Matrix for Vascular Grafts and Tubular Heart Valves

Abstract

We have developed a novel tissue-engineered vascular graft, which is allogeneic upon a decellularization performed prior to implantation and thus “off-the-shelf.” It is grown from remodeling of ovine dermal fibroblasts... [ view full abstract ]
