Directed cell migration on fibronectin gradients: effect of gradient slope

JT Smith, JT Elkin, WM Reichert - Experimental cell research, 2006 - Elsevier
The migration of human microvascular endothelial cells (hMEC) was measured on a range
of fibronectin gradient slopes. hMEC drift speed increased with increasing gradient slope …

Endothelial cell response to artificial extracellular matrix proteins

JCI Liu - 2006 - thesis.library.caltech.edu
Artificial extracellular matrix (aECM) proteins were designed originally for use in small-
diameter vascular grafts. Current synthetic grafts fail primarily due to (i) a compliance …

Vascular Networks

RY Kannan, AM Seifalian - Wiley Encyclopedia of Biomedical …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
The holy grail of artificial tissue is currently limited by the absence of a viable vascular
network to sustain it. Although a growing amount of interest exists in engineering such a …
