The interstices created by the random packing of the submillimeter-sized modules created EC-lined channels," scientists writing in the journal Tissue Engineering Part A report.
"Flow caused a greater than expected amount of contraction and remodeling in the modular constructs. Flow influenced the MSC to develop smooth muscle cell markers (smooth muscle actin-positive, desmin-positive, and von Willebrand factor-negative) and...
