Data detailed in 'Endothelial cell colonization and angiogenic potential of combined nano- and micro-fibrous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering' have been presented. "Presently the majority of tissue engineering approaches aimed at regenerating bone relies only on post-implantation vascularization. Strategies that include seeding endothelial cells (ECs) on biomaterials and promoting their adhesion, migration and functionality might be a solution for the formation of vascularized bone," scientists in Braga, Portugal report (see also Angiogenesis).
"Nano/micro-fiber-combined scaffolds have an innovative structure, inspired by extracellular matrix (ECM) that ...
