Bio-molecular interactions: blood components, cells and biomaterials in the regeneration of acellular vascular grafts

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, the requirement of vascular grafts, intended to replace the function of a blood vessel remains of main importance. Available vascular grafts in the market are not successful in some conditions. One of the failure causes for synthetic vascular grafts is the patency loss that occurs as a result of an alteration of the physiological beha...
