Establishing sufficient vascularization in scaffold remains a challenge for tissue‐
engineering. To improve angiogenesis, we incorporated vascular endothelial growth factor …

The success of any tissue engineering implant relies upon prompt vascularization of the
cellular construct and, hence, on the ability of the scaffold to broadcast specific activation of …

Synthetic polymer coatings are used extensively in modern medical devices and implants
because of their material versatility and processability. These coatings are designed for …

Anti-fouling hydrogel coatings, copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 1-vinyl-2-
pyrrolidinone, and polyethylene glycol, were investigated for the purpose of improving …

Polymeric drug carriers are widely used for providing temporal and/or spatial control of drug
delivery, with corticosteroids being one class of drugs that have benefitted from their use for …

The controlled release of proteins in tissue-engineered implants is being examined with the
potential application to improve vascularization and hasten tissue growth. Bovine serum …

Abstract Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) hydrogels hold great promise as in vivo cell carriers for
tissue engineering. To ensure appropriate performance of these materials when implanted …

In most cases, vascularization is the first requirement to achieve tissue regeneration. The
delivery from implants of angiogenic factors, like VEGF, has been widely investigated for …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and dexamethasone (DX) release from hydrogel
coatings were examined as a means to modify tissue inflammation and induce …

Therapies that promote angiogenesis have been successfully applied using various
combinations of proangiogenic factors together with a biodegradable delivery vehicle. In this …
