Patterned human microvascular grafts enable rapid vascularization and increase perfusion in infarcted rat hearts
Heart grafts need good vascularization to survive. Here, the authors engineer perfusable constructs of human embryonic stem cell-derived endothelial cells seeded in collagen matrix in patterned microchannels that form anastomosed vessels in vitro and have increased coronary vascular perfusion on tra...
