Three-dimensional silk fibroin microsphere-nanofiber scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering

A significant limitation in the engineering of artificial small-diameter vascular scaffolds is that the number of endothelial cells (ECs) is not sufficient to generate a confluent coverage of the vascular scaffolds, so that the surfaces of vascular scaffolds form thrombus via platelet adhesion and a...
