3D Bioprinting-Tunable Small-Diameter Blood Vessels with Biomimetic Biphasic Cell Layers

Blood vessel damage resulting from trauma or diseases presents a serious risk of morbidity and mortality. Although synthetic vascular grafts have been successfully commercialized for clinical use, they are currently only readily available for large-diameter vessels (>6 mm). Small-diameter vessel (<6 mm) replacements, however, still present significant clinical challenges worldwide. The primary objective of this study is to create novel, tunable,...
