Article Synopsis
- Vascular grafts typically made from synthetic materials face issues like thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia, especially in small diameters, prompting research into alternative options such as decellularized plant scaffolds.*
-
- The study developed a novel bioreactor to precondition small-diameter vascular grafts made from decellularized leatherleaf viburnum, simulating physiological conditions to enhance cell density and reduce thrombus formation.*
-
- Results showed that bioreactor conditioning improved the grafts’ endothelial cell density and suture retention while maintaining cell viability, indicating the potential of these plant-based grafts for vascular repair with lower risk of blood clots.*
