    Effect of Intensified Decellularization of Equine Carotid Arteries on Scaffold Biomechanics and Cytotoxicity

    Decellularized equine carotid arteries (dEAC) are suggested to represent an alternative for alloplastic vascular grafts in haemodialysis patients to achieve vascular access. Recently it was shown that intensif...

    Mechano-chemo-biological model of atherosclerosis formation based on the outside-in theory

    Atherosclerosis is a disease in blood vessels that often results in plaque formation and lumen narrowing. It is an inflammatory response of the tissue caused by disruptions in the vessel wall nourishment. Bloo...
