Extracellular matrix-derived and low-cost proteins to improve polyurethane-based scaffolds for vascular grafts

Abstract Vascular graft surgeries are often conducted in trauma cases, which has increased the demand for scaffolds with good biocompatibility profiles. Biodegradable scaffolds resembling the extracellular matrix (ECM) of blood vessels are promising vascular graft materials. In the present study, po...
