Effects of Copper and Cross-Linking on the Extracellular Matrix of Tissue-Engineered Arteries
In many cases, the mechanical strengths of tissue-engineered arteries do not match the mechanical strengths of native arteries. Ultimate arterial strength is primarily dictated by collagen in the extracellular matrix, but collagen in engineered arteries is not as dense, as organized, or as mature as...
