Improving the Biocompatibility of Plant-Derived Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering Using Heat Treatment

Small-diameter vascular grafts often fail due to thrombosis and compliance mismatch. Decellularized plant scaffolds are a biocompatible, sustainable alternative. Leatherleaf viburnum leaves provide natural architecture and mechanical integrity suitable for tissue-engineered vessels. However, the per...
