Microtechnologies for Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering
Cardiovascular disease is a rising epidemic worldwide, and curative therapies remain elusive. Heart and vascular disease remain some of the hardest to cure due to the limited capacity of the heart to repair itself, necessitating a cell or organ based therapy to cure the inevitable descent into …

Heparanoid hydrogels for cardiovascular tissue regeneration
… are potentially very useful for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, especially when delivered as injectable hydrogels that can form in situ. This project focused on developing Hep and HS hydrogels for localized GF delivery. Hep and HS were acrylated, characterized and crosslinked with PEG …

Optimization of Cryopreservation Protocols for Cardiovascular Tissue
… biochemical and cellular aspects of heart valve tissue. The present study demonstrated that radiolabeled proline accumulation provides a quantitative estimate of total cellular metabolic viability. Radiolabeled inulin was demonstrated to be a useful marker for extracellular tissue space. …

Evaluation of cellular interactions with functionalized scaffolds for cardiovascular tissue engineering
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, with heart valve disease in particular becoming a rising problem in developing countries. Tissue engineering offers the next step in heart valve tissue replacement surgery. Synthetic scaffolds used in tissue engineering …

Reinforced chitosan-based heart valve scaffold and utility of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells for cardiovascular tissue engineering
… stiffness. Chitosan is being widely studied for tissue engineering applications due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, its use in load-bearing applications is limited due to moderate to low mechanical properties. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of a fiber …

NOVEL NANOFIBER-BASED GRAFT FOR HEART VALVE REPLACEMENT
… lasts a lifetime is one of the main targets of cardiovascular tissue engineering. While processed conventional collagen-based heart valves have been used for many years, they eventually fail because of inadequate cell infiltration and insufficient replacement of graft material by tissue …

Autoimmune Responses to Atherosclerotic Lipids: A Study In Murine Models of Atherosclerosis and Obesity
… of CD1d in inflammation of the spleen and heart tissues in the mice with hyperlipidemia. The current study has identified PGPC as a novel lipid antigen recognized by CD1d-restricted T cells in atherosclerosis. The animal study has also provided evidence that CD1d regulates NF-κB-mediated …

The Decelluarized Human Umbilical Vein (HUV) as an Allogeneic Scaffold for Vocal Fold Tissue Engineering
… has great potential for use as a biological tissue engineering scaffold. Thus far, it has been used as an extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold for cardiovascular tissue engineering applications due to its many structural and biomechanical advantages. Since the HUV is vascular derived, the …
