In vitro vascularization is an upcoming strategy to solve the problem of insufficient blood
supply after implantation. Although recent publications show promising results, these studies …

In vitro prevascularization of bone grafts with endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is a
promising strategy to improveimplant survival. In this study we show bone formation in …

For tissue engineering applications, effective bone regeneration requires rapid neo‐
vascularization of implanted grafts to ensure the survival of cells in the early post …

Neovascularization is crucial for fracture healing and plays an important role in long-time
graft survival in tissue engineering applications. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) can be …

To engineer tissues with clinically relevant dimensions, one must overcome the challenge of
rapidly creating functional blood vessels to supply cells with oxygen and nutrients and to …

Vascularization remains one of the primary obstacles in the repair of bone defects. In the
previous issue of Stem Cell Research & Therapy, Pedersen and colleagues show that co …

Vascularization is critical for 3D tissue engineered constructs. In large size implants the
ingrowth of vessels often fails. The purpose of this study was to identify an easily accessible …

According to present knowledge, blood derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) might act
as proangiogenic myeloid cells, which play a fundamental role in the regulation of …

Tissue‐engineered bone provides a promising method for the rehabilitation of acquired
bone defects and congenital deformities. However, generating a vascular supply to the …

In addition to a biocompatible scaffold and an osteogenic cell population, tissue‐engineered
bone requires an appropriate vascular bed to overcome the obstacle of nutrient and oxygen …
