When blood first encounters the artificial surface of a medical device, a complex series of
biochemical reactions is triggered, potentially resulting in clinical complications such as …

The use of invasive medical devices is becoming more common nowadays, with catheters
representing one of the most used medical devices. However, there is a risk of infection …

Prosthetic vascular grafts do not mimic the antithrombogenic properties of native blood
vessels and therefore have higher rates of complications that involve thrombosis and …

Cardiovascular implants, especially vascular grafts made of synthetic polymers, find wide
clinical applications in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, cases of failure …

Small-diameter artificial vascular grafts (SDAVG) are used to bypass blood flow in arterial
occlusive diseases such as coronary heart or peripheral arterial disease. However, SDAVGs …

Due to the lack of success in small-diameter (< 6 mm) prosthetic vascular grafts, a variety of
strategies have evolved utilizing a tissue-engineering approach. Much of this work has …

Currently available cardiovascular implants, such as heart valves and stents, exhibit
suboptimal biocompatibility because of the incomplete endothelialization and sequential …

The functions of implants like medical devices are often compromised by the host's foreign‐
body response (FBR). Herein, we report the development of low‐FBR materials inspired by …

In the past few decades, there have been potential applications for stem cell replacement
therapy in the treatment of nervous system damage resulting from diseases or traumatic …

Cell printing is becoming a common technique to fabricate cellularized printed scaffold for
