Since the survival of ingrowing cells in biomaterials for regenerative processes largely
depends on the supply of nutrients and oxygen, angiogenesis plays an important role in the …

Much research has focused on developing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
delivery systems to enhance angiogenesis in wound repair and in tissue engineering …

The poor vascularization rate of matrices following cell invasion is considered to be one of
the main shortcomings of scaffolds used in tissue engineering. In the past decade much …

One of the prominent shortcomings of matrices for tissue engineering is their poor ability to
support angiogenesis. We report here on experiments to enhance the angiogenic properties …

The vascularization of engineered tissues in many cases does not keep up with the ingrowth
of cells. Nutrient and oxygen supply are not sufficient, which ultimately leads to the death of …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key factor in endothelial cell biology and
blood vessel formation and a candidate therapeutic for the stimulation of angiogenesis …

Prosthetic arterial grafts are unable to develop an intact endothelial lining after implantation,
predisposing them to fail. Strategies have been sought to enhance endothelialization using …

Currently, the focus on bioinspired concepts for the development of tissue engineering
constructs is increasing. For this purpose, the combination of collagen (Coll) and …

The in vivo application of engineered matrices in human wound healing processes is often
hampered by the slow rate of vascularization. Therefore much research is directed towards …

Angiogenesis of an implanted construct is one of the most important issues in tissue
engineering and regenerative medicine, and can often take as long as several weeks. The …
