Biomimetic multilayer small-diameter vascular grafts with tunable mechanical behavior.

Small-diameter vascular grafts remain limited by thrombosis, intimal hyperplasia, and inadequate mechanical and biological integration, motivating manufacturing strategies that can simultaneously control tubular architecture, mechanical response, and the blood-contacting interface. Herein, we report a bioinspired coaxi...

Staged Research and Evaluation of Tissue-Engineered Vascular Implant Based on Bioresorbable Polymer Scaffold for Human Vascular Reconstruction

Introduction . A tissue-engineered vascular implant based on a biodegradable polymer scaffold may become an alternative to modern vascular prostheses, because it is free from such shortcomings as low patency rates in small-diameter vascular reconstructions, infection risks, and the absence of aged-related adapt...

Development of Bioactive Nanocomposite Scaffolds for Enhanced Bone Regeneration and Mechanical Stability

A porous bone scaffold must sustain mechanical loading while permitting vascular and cellular infiltration and progressively transferring load to regenerated bone. This paper evaluates a polycaprolactone (PCL), nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) and bioactive-glass design through a combined materials, mechanical and mechanobiol...
