Effect of fluid dynamics on decellularization efficacy and mechanical properties of blood vessels.

Decellularization of blood vessels is a promising approach to generate native biomaterials for replacement of diseased vessels. The decellularization process affects the mechanical properties of the vascular graft and thus can have a negative impact for in vivo functionality. The aim of this study w...
