Endothelial Cell Function Using a Tissue Engineered Blood Vessel Model: A Case Study of Cell-Cell Communication

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease which develops focally in regions of the vasculature where there is dysfunction of endothelial cells modulated in part by shear stress from flowing blood. To address the clinical crisis of atherosclerosis, tissue engineering has focused on development of a...
