vascular tissue engineering

Vascular tissue engineering is a branch of regenerative medicine focused on creating or repairing blood vessels. It involves designing scaffolds or using cells to grow new blood vessels that can replace damaged ones or support tissue regeneration. This process aims to improve treatments for conditions like heart disease or injuries where blood supply is compromised. By combining biology, materials science, and engineering, scientists develop functional blood vessel substitutes that can integrate with the body, restore blood flow, and promote healing, potentially reducing the need for donor vessels and improving patient outcomes.
