Biomaterial-driven in situ cardiovascular tissue engineering—a multi-disciplinary perspective
Abstract There is a persistent and growing clinical need for readily-available substitutes for heart valves and small-diameter blood vessels. In situ tissue engineering is emerging as a disruptive new technology, providing ready-to-use biodegradable, cell-free constructs which are designed to induce...
