A Biomimetic Heparinized Composite Silk-Based Vascular Scaffold with sustained Antithrombogenicity

Abstract Autologous grafts, as the gold standard for vascular bypass procedures, associated with several problems that limit their usability, so tissue engineered vessels have been the subject of an increasing number of works. Nevertheless, gathering all of the desired characteristics of vascular sc...
