Article: Researchers from University of Fukui, Faculty of Medical Sciences discuss findings in angiogenesis.(Report)

New investigation results, 'Coronary arteries angiogenesis in ischemic myocardium: biocompatibility and biodegradability of various hydrogels,' are detailed in a study published in Artificial Organs. "To evaluate the biocompatibility and biodegradability of various hydrogels and choose suitable hydrogels for the coronary arteries angiogenesis in ischemic myocardium, we synthesized six kinds of hyaluronan hydrogels, fibrin hydrogel, poly(vinyl alcohol)-chitosan hydrogel, and obtained elastin hydrogels," investigators in Fukui, Japan report (see also Angiogenesis).

"We examined their degradation rates and cytotoxicity in vitro. Then, hydrogels were implanted into ...
