Multilayered hollow tubes for cardiovascular tissue engineering

One of the key concepts in tissue engineering (TE) strategies is the need for mass transport of nutrients and oxygen supply. In this work, we propose the creation of hollow tubes, as blood vessel substitutes, able to support endothelial and smooth muscle cells adhesion and proliferation. Hollow tube...
