Biomanufacturing Vascular Matrix-Mimetic Hydrogels from Quantified Arterial Micromechanics and Microstructure.
The microstructural and micromechanical properties of the arterial extracellular matrix (ECM) are central to vascular cell behavior but are disrupted by disease and aging. Elastin and fibrillar collagens provide essential cues, yet the effects of disease-associated ECM remodeling on smooth muscle function remain poorly...
