Journal ArticleDOI

Functional small-diameter neovessels created using endothelial progenitor cells expanded ex vivo.

TL;DR: Results indicate that EPCs can function similarly to arterial endothelial cells and thereby confer longer vascular-graft survival and might have other general applications for tissue-engineered structures and in treating vascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

From Stem Cells to Viable Autologous Semilunar Heart Valve

TL;DR: Stem-cell tissue-engineered heart valves can be created from mesenchymal stem cells in combination with a biodegradable scaffold and function satisfactorily in vivo for periods of >4 months, and undergo extensive remodeling in vivo to resemble native heart valves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-engineered microvessels on three-dimensional biodegradable scaffolds using human endothelial progenitor cells.

TL;DR: EPC- derived EC can be expanded in vitro and seeded on biodegradable scaffolds with preservation of endothelial phenotype and EPC-derived EC seeded with human smooth muscle cells form microvessels on porous PGA-PLLA scaffolds, indicating that EPC may be well suited for creating microvascular networks within tissue-engineered constructs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel bioreactor for the dynamic flexural stimulation of tissue engineered heart valve biomaterials.

TL;DR: A novel bioreactor was developed to study the effect of dynamic flexural stimulation on TEHV biomaterials and indicated that dynamically flexed PGA/PLLA/P4HB scaffolds were approximately 72% and 76% less stiff than static controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

The independent role of cyclic flexure in the early in vitro development of an engineered heart valve tissue

TL;DR: Results show that cyclic flexure can have independent effects onTEHV cell and ECM development, and may be useful in predicting the mechanical properties of TEHV constructed using novel scaffold materials.
