Recellularization of decellularized porcine caval veins

Abstrakt

Decellularized material has been reported to be more suitable for cells to grow when compared to synthetic materials because repopulating cells are provided with the structural environment of native tissue. The aim of this study is to prepare and to test porcine caval veins through their decellularization followed by repopulation with human endothelial cells.
