3D scaffolds co-seeded with human endothelial progenitor and mesenchymal stem cells: Evidence of prevascularisation within 7 days

Blood supply is a critical issue in most tissue engineering approaches for large defect healing. As vessel ingrowth from surrounding tissues is proven to be insufficient, current strategies are focusing on the neo-vascularisation process.In the present study, we developed an in vitro pre-vascularise...
