## Abstract Quick establishment of a confluent and stable endothelial cells (ECs) layer in the lumen of vascular grafts is critical for longβterm patency of smallβdiameter vascular grafts. The objective of the study was to fabricate tubular nanofiber scaffolds, incorporate ECs onto the lumen of the
## Abstract Thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia limit the usefulness of small caliber vascular grafts. While some improvements have been reported for grafts seeded with mature endothelial cells (EC), the harvesting of ECs from autologous sources, for example, veins or adipose tissue, remains problem
## Abstract Gelatine gels and gelatine/elastin gels have been prepared to be used in tissue engineered vascular grafts. Optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the gelatine formed nanofibrils as in soft collagen tissues. The gelatine/elastin gels were nanocomposites with
