Effects of a Pseudophysiological Environment on the Elastic and Viscoelastic Properties of Collagen Gels
Vascular tissue engineering focuses on the replacement of diseased small-diameter blood vessels with a diameter less than 6 mm for which adequate substitutes still do not exist. One approach to vascular tissue engineering is to culture vascular cells on a scaffold in a bioreactor. The bioreactor est...
