I'm proud to announce that after 4 years of hard work, our research paper, "Fabrication of a Compliant Vascular Graft Using Extrusion Printing and Electrospinning Technique," has been published in Advanced Materials Technologies! 🎉
In this study, we present a novel hybrid technique combining 3D bioprinting and electrospinning to create small-diameter vascular grafts with mechanical properties comparable to those of native arteries and veins. This innovation holds significant promise for improving treatments for cardiovascular diseases.
🔬 Key Highlights:
Developed vascular grafts with enhanced burst pressure and tensile strength.
Achieved compliance similar to human muscular and elastic arteries.
Demonstrated excellent biocompatibility, supporting cell survival and growth.
A huge thanks to the incredible team (Faraz Fazal, Ferry Melchels, Anthony Callanan, Vasileios Koutsos) and collaborators for their hard work.
