Rapid fabrication of reinforced and cell-laden vascular grafts structurally inspired by human coronary arteries

Bioengineering of small diameter vascular grafts that recapitulate the features of native vessels is extremely challenging. Here the authors present a combined dip-spinning and blow-spinning technology to fabricate multi-layered cell-embedded grafts with native mechanical properties.
