One of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide is coronary artery disease, a
condition characterized by the narrowing of the artery due to plaque deposits. The standard …

Stents are lifesaving mechanical devices that re-establish essential blood flow to the
coronary circulation after significant vessel occlusion due to coronary vessel disease or …

Collagen, a central component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), has been widely applied in
tissue engineering, among others, for wound healing or bone and nerve regeneration …

Stenting is the primary treatment for vascular obstruction-related cardiovascular diseases,
but it inevitably causes endothelial injury which may lead to severe thrombosis and …

In-stent restenosis after stenting is generally characterized by an inflammatory response,
excessive proliferation of smooth muscle cells, and delayed healing of the endothelium …

Cardiovascular diseases continue to be a major contributor to illness and death on a global
scale, and the implementation of stents has given rise to a revolutionary transformation in …

Coagulation, inflammation, and hyperplasia frequently restrict the effectiveness of
cardiovascular stents. It is critical to modify stent surfaces to allow for in situ tissue healing …

Coronary stents are among the most common therapies worldwide. Despite significant
improvements in the biocompatibility of these devices throughout the last decades, they are …

Anti-inflammation and anti-coagulation are the primary requirements for cardiovascular
stents and also the widely accepted trajectory for multi-functional modification. In this work …

Coronary in-stent restenosis and late stent thrombosis are the two major inadequacies of
vascular stents that limit its long-term efficacy. Although restenosis has been successfully …
