Modification of decellularized vascular scaffold with conditioned medium to enhance cell reseeding.

Repopulation of decellularized vascular scaffolds (DVS) is limited because of change in the repertoire and ratios of the remaining extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, for example, loss of glycoproteins and the retention of type I collagen. Pre-treatment of DVS with defined ECM proteins, which match the repertoire of integrin receptors expressed by the embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to be seeded, can increase the reseeding efficacy. mESCs mainly express high levels of functional receptors for LM and FN.
