Fast-degrading elastomer enables rapid remodeling of a cell-free synthetic graft into a neoartery
Open accessAbstract
Host remodeling is important for the success of medical implants, including vascular substitutes. Synthetic and tissue-engineered grafts have yet to show clinical effectiveness in arteries smaller than 5 mm in diameter. We designed cell-free biodegradable elastomeric grafts that degrade rapidly to yield neoarteries nearly free of foreign materials 3 months after interposition grafting in rat abdominal aorta. This design focuses on enabling rapid host remodeling. Three months after implantation, the neoarteries resembled native arteries in the following aspects: regular, strong and synchronous pulsation; a confluent endothelium and contractile smooth muscle layers; expression of elastin, collagen and glycosaminoglycan; and tough and compliant mechanical properties. Therefore, future studies employing large animal models more representative of human vascular regeneration are warranted before clinical translation. This cell-free approach represents a philosophical shift from the prevailing focus on cells in vascular tissue engineering and may have an impact on regenerative medicine in general.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
