Vascular Tissue Engineering: Pathological Considerations, Mechanisms, and Translational Implications
Clinical translation of vascular tissue engineering is hampered by inconsistencies in graft outcomes. In this chapter, we argue that variation in graft outcomes is largely due to our lack of fully understanding vascular regeneration and remodeling in resp
