## Abstract Meniscus tears are frequent indications for arthroscopic evaluation which can result in partial or total meniscectomy. Allografts or synthetic meniscus scaffolds have been used with varying success to prevent early degenerative joint disease in these cases. Problems related to reduced i

The in vitro construction of tissue-engineered small diameter (<6 mm) blood vessels with sufficient strength and mechanical compliance has evaded researchers. We hypothesize that the high spatial organization of the medial layer of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and their surrounding matrix pr
Scaffolds for tissue engineering should be biocompatible and stimulate rapid blood vessel ingrowth. Herein, we analyzed in vivo the biocompatibility and vascularization of three novel types of biodegradable porous polyurethane scaffolds. The polyurethane scaffolds, i.e., PU-S, PU-M and PU-F, were im
## Abstract With the increasing occurrence of vascular diseases and poor longβterm patency rates of current small diameter vascular grafts, it becomes urgent to pursuit biomaterial as scaffold to mimic blood vessel morphologically and mechanically. In this study, novel humanβlike collagen (HLC, pro
