A tunable hydrogel system and pulsatile flow bioreactor for the development of tissue engineered vascular grafts

The prevalence of coronary artery disease combined with a paucity of suitable vessel substitutes act as driving forces for cardiovascular tissue engineering research. In this thesis poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogels were investigated as a biomaterial for tissue engineered vascular g...
