Artificial blood vessels: Tri-layered artificial blood vessels for first time
By combining micro-imprinting and electro-spinning techniques, researchers have developed a vascular graft composed of three layers for the first time. This tri-layered composite has allowed researchers to utilize separate materials that respectively possess mechanical strength and promote new cell growth - a significant problem for existing vascular grafts that have only consisted of a single or double layer.

Hi Sebastian, thanks for sharing. I was wondering what the material of this artificial blood vessel is made of?
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that this form of grafting is reliable enough to use in the treatment of patients in hospitals?
