Cell colonization potential of thermoplastic silicone-based polyurethane nonwovens for novel heart valve prosthesis
Heart valve tissue engineering aims at creating living valves through colonization of scaffolds with patient’s own cells. Various cell sources have been explored focusing mainly on endothelialization of the scaffold surface. Endothelial like cells, such as endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which...
