Development of an In-Vitro Tissue Engineered Blood Vessel Mimic Using Human Large Vessel Cell Sources
… of devices and therapies. Specifically, in-vitro blood vessel mimics (BVM) have been developed to create a bench-top blood vessel model using human cells that can be used to test and evaluate vascular disease treatments and intravascular devices. Previous BVM work has used fat derived human …

Characterization and Implementation of a Decellularized Porcine Vessel as a Biologic Scaffold for a Blood Vessel Mimic
… up in the coronary arteries, occluding normal blood flow. Balloon angioplasty procedures in combination with a metal stent often result in successful restoration of normal blood flow. However, bare metal stents often lead to restenosis and other complications. To compensate for this problem, …

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 …

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 …
