Effect of decellularization process on the mechanical properties of porcine coronary artery

A functional tissue engineered blood vessel is one that has removed the major cellular immunogenic components, and preserves the remaining required mechanical properties of extracellular matrix. However, decellularization treatment tends to weaken the mechanical properties of the tissues, hence redu...
