Elastin biology and tissue engineering with adult cells
The inability of adult cells to produce well-organized, robust elastic fibers has long been a barrier to the successful engineering of certain tissues. In this review, we focus primarily on elastin with respect to tissue-engineered vascular substitutes. To understand elastin regulation during normal...
