Smooth muscle cell adhesion in surface-modified three-dimensional copolymer scaffolds prepared from co-continuous blends.

29 Sep 2009 In this article, tissue-engineering scaffolds were fabricated from P(epsilon-CL-co-D,L-LA)-PEG-P(epsilon-CL-co-D,L-LA) copolymers using co-continuous blends with polystyrene as the porogen phase. By means of static annealing and following extraction ... Read more...

Development of decellularized human umbilical arteries as small-diameter vascular grafts.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Developing a tissue-engineered small-diameter (<6mm) vascular graft for reconstructive surgery has remained a challenge for the past several decades. This study was conducted to develop a decellularized umbilical artery and to evaluate ... Read more...

Inverted human umbilical arteries with tunable wall thicknesses for nerve regeneration.

30 May 2009 Tubular nerve guides have shown a potential to bridge nerve defects, by directing neuronal elongation, localizing growth factors, and inhibiting fibrotic cellular ingrowth. These investigations describe a novel acellular scaffold derived from the ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Umbilical Arteries'

Definition: Specialized arterial vessels in the umbilical cord. They carry waste and deoxygenated blood from the FETUS to the mother via the PLACENTA. In humans, there are usually two umbilical arteries but sometimes one.
