Electrospinning collagen and elastin for tissue engineering small diameter blood vessels.

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: Nonwoven fibrous matrices of collagen and elastin have been prepared by means of electrospinning.Variations in the morphology of the scaffolds have been evaluated as a function of the ratio of the two proteins.Scaffolds having an architecture resembling the media of natural blood vessels have been obtained.Crosslinking has been used as a valuable method to improve the stability of such matrices.The obtained nonwoven matrices can be used for tissue engineering applications.
