Description:
The objective of this study is elucidating the mechanisms by which the wettability of nanofibrous electrospun mats varies in polymer blends, and highlighting how this can play a pivotal role in enhancing the viability of cultured microvascular endothelial cells (EC). A functional microvascular network is essential for supplying bioengineered tissues with oxygen and nutrients while removing metabolic wastes. An in vitro pre-vascularization strategy consists of seeding EC on scaffolds, which in turn promotes cells infiltration …
