Abstract

Constructing satisfied small-diameter vascular graft (diameter less than 6 mm) remains an unsolvable challenge in vascular tissue engineering. This study described the fabrication of electrospun polyurethane/polycaprolactone (PU/PCL) membranes chemically grafted with various densities of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) - an antithrombotic fatty acid - for making small-diameter blood vessel. Differences in mechanical, antithrombotic properties and biocompatibility of the membranes resulting from the CLA-grafting procedure were the focus of the study. Investigation of mechanical properties relevant to vascular graft application revealed that these properties of the membranes remained unaffected and satisfied clinical criteria following the CLA graft. Blood-membrane interaction assays showed that the CLA-grafted membranes mitigated the adhesion of blood cells, as well as preventing blood coagulation. These effects were also commensurate with increasing density of CLA, suggesting an effective approach to improve antithromboticity. Cellular tests suggested that CLA has an optimal density at which it promoted cell proliferation on the surface of the membranes; however, excessive presence of CLA might cause undesirable inhibition on ce...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
