Development and Characterization of Tissue Engineered Blood Vessel Mimics Under "Diabetic" Conditions
<p>The development of tissue engineered blood vessel mimics for the testing of intravascular devices in vitro has been established in the Cal Poly tissue engineering lab. Due to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients and minimal accessible studies regarding the interactions …

Development and Optimization of Imaging and Image Quantification Techniques for Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessel Mimics
<p>Blood vessels mimics (BVMs) are tissue-engineered blood vessels used to test vascular devices in an environment that mimics some simple anatomical factors of native blood vessels. It is important to accurately and consistently assess tissue-engineered blood vessels, although there is currently a …

Evaluation of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells in Blood Vessel Mimics Through Changes in Gene Expression and Caspase Activity
<p>Blood vessel mimics (BVMs) are simple tissue engineered blood vessel constructs intended for preclinical testing of vascular devices. This thesis developed and implemented methods to characterize two of these components. The first aim of this thesis investigated the effect of cell culture …

Identifying and Reducing Variability, Improving Scaffold Morphology, and Investigating Alternative Materials for the Blood Vessel Mimic Lab Electrospinning Process
… characterization, and improvement of “Blood Vessel Mimics” (BVMs), tissue engineered constructs used to evaluate cellular response to vascular medical devices. Currently, cells are grown onto fibrous, porous tubes made using an in-house electrospinning process from PLGA, a biocompatible …
