To successfully develop a functional tissue-engineered vascular patch, recapitulating the
hierarchical structure of vessel is critical to mimic mechanical properties. Here, we use a cell …

Silk‐elastin‐like‐protein polymers (SELPs) are genetically engineered recombinant protein
sequences consisting of repeating units of silk‐like and elastin‐like blocks. By combining …

In arterial tissue engineering, mimicking native structure and mechanical properties is
essential because compliance mismatch can lead to graft failure and further disease. With …

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a potential source for the derivation of
smooth muscle cells (SMCs); however, current approaches are limited by the production of …

Silk is a natural polymer with broad utility in biomedical applications because it exhibits
general biocompatibility and high tensile material properties. While mechanical integrity is …

Silkworm silk is an attractive biopolymer for biomedical applications due to its high
mechanical strength and biocompatibility; as a result, there is increasing interest in scalable …

Integrated magnetic Hall effect sensors have been widely used in people's daily life over the
past decades, and still are gaining enormous attention from researchers to establish novel …

The extracellular matrix is well-known for its structural role in supporting cells and tissues,
and its important biochemical role in providing signals to cells has increasingly become …
