Engineering a novel 3D tissue equivalent of small diameter artery media using human primary smooth muscle cells.

This dissertation focuses on the development of novel methods for tissue engineering the medial layer of small diameter blood vessels using primary and differentiated human smooth muscle cells. Specifically we focused on generating multi-layered structures of circumferentially oriented smooth muscle...
